Move complex part of room sorting to a dedicated function

Browse Source 
Pretty much cut/pasting it in, as there's not really a whole much to help make the code more understandable here.

This also includes a comment block longer than the code it describes in hopes it explains away the problem of understanding what it does.

Should fix https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/8861

// The slotting algorithm works by trying to position the room in the most relevant
// section of the list (red > grey > etc). To accomplish this, we need to consider
// a couple cases: the section existing in the list but having other rooms in it and
// the case of the section simply not existing and needing to be started. In order to
// do this efficiently, we only want to iterate over the list once and solve our sorting
// problem as we go.
//
// Firstly, we'll remove any existing entry that references the room we're trying to
// insert. We don't really want to consider the old entry and want to recreate it. We
// also exclude the sticky (currently active) room from the categorization logic and
// let it pass through wherever it resides in the list: it shouldn't be moving around
// the list too much, so we want to keep it where it is.
//
// The case of the section we want existing is easy to handle: once we hit the section,
// find the room that has a most recent event later than our own and insert just before
// that (making us the more recent room). If we end up hitting the next section before
// we can slot the room in, insert the room at the top of the section as a fallback. We
// do this to ensure that the room doesn't go too far down the list given it was previously
// considered important (in the case of going down in category) or is now more important
// (suddenly becoming red, for instance). The boundary tracking is how we end up achieving
// this, as described in the next paragraphs.
//
// The other case of the section not already existing is a bit more complicated. We track
// the boundaries of each section relative to the list we're currently building so that
// when we miss the section we can insert the room at the right spot. Most importantly, we
// can't assume that the end of the list being built is the right spot because of the last
// paragraph's requirement: the room should be put to the top of a section if the section
// runs out of places to put it.
//
// All told, our tracking looks something like this:
//
// ------ A <- Section boundary (start of red)
// RED
// RED
// RED
// ------ B <- In this example, we have a grey room we want to insert.
// BOLD
// BOLD
// ------ C
// IDLE
// IDLE
// ------ D <- End of list
//
// Given that example, and our desire to insert a GREY room into the list, this iterates
// over the room list until it realizes that BOLD comes after GREY and we're no longer
// in the RED section. Because there's no rooms there, we simply insert there which is
// also a "category boundary". If we change the example to wanting to insert a BOLD room
// which can't be ordered by timestamp with the existing couple rooms, we would still make
// use of the boundary flag to insert at B before changing the boundary indicator to C.
