Intelligently select extremities used in backfill. (#8349)
Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.

This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.

Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event.
