The media gallery and activity log register filtered timeline sets on the
room (getOrCreateFilteredTimelineSet); the room re-emits their events as
live RoomEvent.Timeline, so every matching event reached "new event in
the room" listeners twice for the rest of the session. The timeline
window shifted by an extra message per event (loaded messages vanished),
and notifications, unread counts, widget feeds and ring handling saw
duplicates.

isFromFilteredTimelineSet() (unit-tested) identifies emits from a filtered
set; the room timeline, roomToUnread, message notifications, clock-skew
sampling, call ring/decline handling and widget event feeds ignore them.

Verified headless (40 messages, every 5th a file; gallery opened; Bob
sends 3 files + 1 text): before, the first rendered message drifted from
the room start to "file15"; now it stays put.

Fixes #259
