Addressed another stretch goal of project-robius#292, which was basically to not send and endlessly accumulate lots of TimelineUpdates to a room or thread when it wasn't being shown in the UI. Now the background timeline subscriber async task does still process those updates but doesn't tell the UI. Instead it just coalesces them locally and then informs the UI in one very fast & efficient cumulative update about the latest state of the timeline's events.
