Travis Ralston 73958ecbff Document /event_auth and /query_auth
/event_auth is a fairly easy endpoint to determine the use case of. /query_auth is a little harder to investigate and has a fairly interesting purpose: it appears to be used for the sending server to admit defeat and shop around for the right auth chain, correcting it's own perspective as it goes.

/query_auth is based off the following research points in synapse:
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1947-L1990)
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L2049-L2187)
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1716-L1761)
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/federation/federation_server.py (L393-L446)
