This does two things:

  1. Change have_censored column to indicate if there's something to do, i.e. we'll mark have_censored to true if we don't have the target event.
  2. Add received_ts to redactions (plus an index) and use that to search for redactions that it need to be censored.

Commits should be independently reviewable.

Fixes #6138.

@erikjohnston
Don't repeatedly attempt to censor events we don't have.
a27fb7d 
Currently we don't set `have_censored` column if we don't have the
target event of a redaction, which means we repeatedly attempt to censor
the same non-existant event.

When we persist non-redacted events we unset the `have_censored` column
for any redactions that target said event.

@erikjohnston
Add received_ts column to redactions.
898dde9 
This will allow us to efficiently search for uncensored redactions in
the DB before a given time.
@erikjohnston
Use received_ts to find uncensored redacted events
5e8387a 
Joining against `events` and ordering by `stream_ordering` is
inefficient as it forced scanning the entirety of the redactions table.

This isn't the case if we use `redactions.received_ts` column as we can
then use an index.

You might want to also exclude the redactions for which received_ts is not NULL, so that you don't process redactions that we received between two calls to this function.

Yeah, could do! I don't think it makes much of a difference (it'll do the right thing anyway), so I'm probably just going to leave it as is.

Synapse 1.4.0rc1 (2019-09-26)
=============================

Note that this release includes significant changes around 3pid
verification. Administrators are reminded to review the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v140).

Features

  - Add `POST /_matrix/client/unstable/account/3pid/unbind` endpoint from [MSC2140](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2140) for unbinding a 3PID from an identity server without removing it from the homeserver user account. ([\#5980](#5980), [\#6062](#6062))
  - Use `account_threepid_delegate.email` and `account_threepid_delegate.msisdn` for validating threepid sessions. ([\#6011](#6011))
  - Allow homeserver to handle or delegate email validation when adding an email to a user's account. ([\#6042](#6042))
