RoomUpdate came from a time where we had no data model for
SyncUpdates but now we have and therefore this class is just
code duplication. This removes the class
and uses the SyncRoomUpdate class from
the package matrix_api_lite instead.
It needed a lot of refactoring at some places
where I also have removed some unnecessary null or type checks.
The current implementation of sortOrder can be made way more easier now
by just keeping the sortOrder of the list
and the timelineFragments in the hiveStore. This needed a huge
change but mostly removes a lot of code which can be done
way more easy now. This also needed some rewriting of the setState logic and changes to
the prevEvent calculation. This solution should also be more stable.

That way some concurrency bugs might be fixed, such as if two sync
requests are processed at the same time. That can e.g. happen if you
request history while a sync request is already being processed.
We have used some data models which were only used in moor in the tests.
I needed to rewrite them in the original data as well.
Also now the "fake database" on native is the same like on web now with hive.
The hive database now implements the whole API except for storing files which
should be better done by the flutter_cache_manager package inside of the
flutter app. All tests already run with Hive now but the Moor database is still
tested too. We needed to change some wait jobs in the tests because the Hive
database is not 100% in memory for the tests like Moor.
For now both database implementations are equal and the developer can pick
which one to use but we plan to get rid of Moor in the future.
