Description
This issue has been migrated from [#3466](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3466).
---
PR #3456 requires servers to be able to hand out the prev_events and their state for newly sent events. However, if the prev event is from a point where the receiving server isn't in the room, the receiving server may not have permission to see the event.
We should handle this more gracefully than (temporarily) throwing the event away.
