The logic is "designed" to "handle" the case where the servers view of the state at an event doesn't match what the remote server set as the auth events. With some hand waving the server would try and come to some sort of conclusion of which side was correct, involving state resolution, but this could come up with interesting results. The entire process is unspecced and buggy, so let's just remove it.

This fixes situations where the server seemingly randomly changed the state of the room, particularly around power levels or join rules.
