Fix backfilling (#3117)

This should fix two issues with backfilling:
1. right after creating and joining a room over federation, we are doing
a `/backfill` request, which would return redacted events, because the
`authEvents` are empty. Even though the spec states that, in the absence
of a history visibility event, it should be handled as `shared`.
2. `gomatrixserverlib: unsupported room version ''` - because, well, we
were never setting the `roomInfo` field..
