Sort is no longer configurable and we always sort rooms by the `stream_ordering` of the last event in the room or the point where the user can see up to in cases of leave/ban/invite/knock.
Based on [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575): Sliding Sync
This iteration only focuses on returning the list of room IDs in the sliding window API (without sorting/filtering).
Rooms appear in the Sliding sync response based on:
- `invite`, `join`, `knock`, `ban` membership events
- Kicks (`leave` membership events where `sender` is different from the `user_id`/`state_key`)
- `newly_left` (rooms that were left during the given token range, > `from_token` and <= `to_token`)
- In order for bans/kicks to not show up, you need to `/forget` those rooms. This doesn't modify the event itself though and only adds the `forgotten` flag to `room_memberships` in Synapse. There isn't a way to tell when a room was forgotten at the moment so we can't factor it into the from/to range.
