Store information in the database about partial-state joins

When we get a partial_state response from send_join, store information in the
database about it:
 * store a record about the room as a whole having partial state, and stash the
   list of member servers too.
 * flag the join event itself as having partial state
 * also, for any new events whose prev-events are partial-stated, note that
   they will *also* be partial-stated.

We don't yet make any attempt to interpret this data, so API calls (and a bunch
of other things) are just going to get incorrect datat.
