Older Twisted (18.4.0) returns TimeoutError instead of
ConnectingCancelledError when connection times out.
This change allows tests to be compatible with this behaviour.

Remove nuke-room-from-db.sh script

The problem with this script is that it is largely untested, entirely
unmaintained, and running it is likely to make your synapse blow up in
exciting ways.

For example, it leaves a bunch of tables with dead values in it, like
event_to_state_groups.

Having it here sends a message that it is a supported part of
synapse, which is absolutely not the case.

Turns out deferred.cancel sometimes throws, so we do that last to ensure
that we always do resolve the new deferred.

Add an awful secondary timeout to fix wedged requests

This is an attempt to mitigate #3842 by adding yet-another-timeout

don't filter membership events based on history visibility
as we will already have filtered the messages in the timeline, and state events
are always visible.

and because @erikjohnston said so.
