Originally this was intended to be done only in the importance algorithm, however it is clear that all algorithms will need to deal with this. As such, it has been put into the base class to deal with as we may override it in the future. This commit should be self-documenting enough to describe what is going on, though the major highlight is that the handling of the sticky room is done by lying to the underlying algorithm. This has not been optimized for performance yet. For element-hq/element-web#13635

Gif of this in action (going up and down the list to show stability, showing rooms not moving when the selected room receives messages, and showing it doesn't jump around when the list around it shifts a bit):
The design in the gif is not representative of what this will actually look like. The branch which has all this CSS/layout is not yet merged/published and is only used to make the gif slightly more attractive looking. The changes themselves are purely under the hood and do not need to be pretty.
