Fixes #3305
Fixes #3380

The idea here is to better distinguish between a 'raw' event (as we send over the wire), and the 'serialised' format, as sent in responses to the C-S api and in PUT /_matrix/app/v1/transactions/{txnId}.

It's made more complicated by the fact that there are two serialisation formats, one used by /sync and /notifications, and one by everything else (the difference being whether room_id is included).

In an ideal world, we wouldn't repeat SerialisedEvent every time it's used, and instead just link to the first reference, bit that's a job for another day.

Another job for another day is to get rid of things like sync_state_event.yaml (which is now used only in one place, so should be inlined.)

if the local time on at least one of the two servers is out of sync, which can
cause the age to either be negative or greater than it actually is.

Previously, this field was specified at the top level of returned
events rather than in `unsigned` (with the exception of the [`GET

endpoint), though in practice no known server implementations honoured
this.

all this stuff has moved into the definition for client_event, because it's not sent over the federation API, so IMHO doesn't belong in the core event schema.

looks like I need to figure out why the validator is failing.

generally the changes seem fine - mostly just relatively minor concerns and taking the opportunity to fix some other small pet peeves while we're in the area.
