Fix incorrect `get_rooms_for_user` for remote user (#11999)

When the server leaves a room the `get_rooms_for_user` cache is not
correctly invalidated for the remote users in the room. This means that
subsequent calls to `get_rooms_for_user` for the remote users would
incorrectly include the room (it shouldn't be included because the
server no longer knows anything about the room).
