Conflicted state set is a set of events (#1120)

Browse source 
In #1042 I incorrectly wrote that the conflicted state set is a set of
pairs (K, V). We later take the union of the conflicted state set and
the auth difference. The latter is a set of events (V) only.

Fix this by making the conflicted state set a set of events rather than
a set of pairs. That is, the conflicted state set is a a `Set[Event]`
instead of a `Set[((type, state key), event)]`.

divided into two collections.
If a given key *K* is present in every *S<sub>i</sub>* with the same value *V*
in each state map, then the pair (*K*, *V*) belongs to the *unconflicted state map*.
Otherwise (*K*, *V*) belongs to the *conflicted state set*.
Otherwise, *V* belongs to the *conflicted state set*.
Note that the unconflicted state map only has one event for each key *K*,

The *auth chain* of an event *E* is the set containing all of *E*'s auth events,
