fix(gallery): paginate media, activity log and export on detached timeline sets — never the live timeline (#163)

RoomTimeline renders a numeric index window into the live timeline's
event arrays; SDK back-pagination prepends, so any side panel calling
paginateEventTimeline(room.getLiveTimeline()) shifted the visible
messages into the past on the next render and broke at-bottom tracking.

New utils/detachedTimeline.ts builds a timeline set that mirrors the
already-loaded history and paginates independently: a room-registered
filtered set (server-side contains_url / types filter) when the filter
is usable, else a private EventTimelineSet seeded from the live timeline.
useRoomMediaTimeline wraps it for the gallery (live events + redactions
handled); RoomActivityLog uses a type filter (safe in encrypted rooms);
ExportRoomHistory pages a private set so a full export no longer parks
thousands of events in the live timeline.

Verified with Playwright against a local Synapse in a 400-message plain
room and a 200-message encrypted room: timeline stays at the bottom
through gallery pages, activity load-more and a full export; live
messages keep auto-scrolling; all media found in both rooms.

Also adds scripts/dev-homeserver.sh + scripts/dev-seed.py (local
throwaway Synapse for driving the real UI) and documents them.

Closes #163
