Handle outliers in `/federation/v1/event` (#12332)

The intention here is to avoid doing state lookups for outliers in
`/_matrix/federation/v1/event`. Unfortunately that's expanded into something of
a rewrite of `filter_events_for_server`, which ended up trying to do that
operation in a couple of places.
