Construct a set of EventTimeline objects, typically on behalf of a given room. A room may have multiple EventTimelineSets for different levels of filtering. The global notification list is also an EventTimelineSet, but lacks a room.
This is an ordered sequence of timelines, which may or may not be continuous. Each timeline lists a series of events, as well as tracking the room state at the start and the end of the timeline (if appropriate). It also tracks forward and backward pagination tokens, as well as containing links to the next timeline in the sequence.
There is one special timeline - the 'live' timeline, which represents the timeline to which events are being added in real-time as they are received from the /sync API. Note that you should not retain references to this timeline - even if it is the current timeline right now, it may not remain so if the server gives us a timeline gap in /sync.
In order that we can find events from their ids later, we also maintain a map from event_id to timeline and index.

Determine whether a given event can sanely be added to this event timeline set,
for timeline sets relating to a thread, only return true for events in the same
thread timeline, for timeline sets not relating to a thread only return true
for events which should be shown in the main room timeline.
Requires the room property to have been set at EventTimelineSet construction time.
Error if room was not set when constructing this timeline set.

Determine where two events appear in the timeline relative to one another
a number less than zero if eventId1 precedes eventId2, and greater than zero if eventId1 succeeds eventId2. zero if they are the same event; null if we can't tell (either because we don't know about one of the events, or because they are in separate timelines which don't join up).

Typed Event Emitter class which can act as a Base Model for all our model and communication events. This makes it much easier for us to distinguish between events, as we now need to properly type this, so that our events are not stringly-based and prone to silly typos.
