Other updates:
- Update tests to use `/roomid/room1/date/2022/01/03` format instead of trying to retrofit the weird alias stuff on there. Which also makes the fancy to actual URL utilities much more simple.
- Update to specify `archiveMessageLimit` in the test case because pages have different number of events depending on if we are against a boundary, hidden events, etc.
- Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/7
- A URL with time looks like
- `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59`
- Or when more precision is required (seconds): `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59:59`
- Add new custom time picker/scrubber (pictured below) with momentum scrubbing
- Native built-in `<input type="time">` for easier picking if you prefer that and accessibility.
- Uses localized time strings
- Design inspired by Thiago Sanchez's *Time Zone Translate* concept, https://dribbble.com/shots/14590546-Time-Zone-Translate

Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/pull/71
Summary:
- Changes the "Jump to next activity in room" to actually continue you to the next 100 messages ahead. Previously, it only jumped you to the single next event in the room which meant a lot of backwards overlap each time.
- Jumping this direction will also start your scroll position at the top of the timeline to continue reading seamlessly `?continue=top`
- Adds "Jump to previous activity in room" to the top of the timeline to continue reading the previous part of the conversation.
[1]: There is a caveat with seamless here which is also commented on in the code:
> XXX: This is flawed in the fact that when we go `/messages?dir=b` it could backfill messages which will fill up the response before we perfectly connect and continue from the position they were jumping from before. When `/messages?dir=f` backfills, we won't have this problem anymore because any messages backfilled in the forwards direction would be picked up the same going backwards.
(need forwards fill MSC)
Also does friendly redirects if you don't exactly use the right URL pattern.
For example, if you paste the full room ID with the `!` like `/roomid/!foo:bar`,
it will properly redirect you to `/roomid/foo:bar`. It also does this sort of
thing for URL encoded room ID's and aliases.

1. Add surrounding messages to the given messages so we have a full screen of content to make it feel lively even in quiet rooms
- As you scroll around the timeline across different days, the date changes in the URL, calendar, etc
2. Add summary item to the bottom of the timeline that explains if we couldn't find any messages in the specific day requested
- Also allows you to the jump to the next activity in the room. Adds `/:roomId/jump?ts=xxx&dir=[f|b]` to facilitate this.
- Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/46
3. Add developer options modal which is linked from the bottom of the right-panel
- Adds an option so you can debug the `IntersectionObserver` and how it's selecting the active day from the top-edge of the scroll viewport.
- In the future, this will also include a nice little visualization of the backend timing traces
