/joined_rooms returns only joined rooms is flakey

Probably another worker replication pain.

Results.tap wasn't very illuminating:

But looking at the test source it seems that the call to create $room_invited timed out (we never saw its log line).

Within the timeframe of the test, I can synapse logging as it completes its response to two calls to /createRoom. No sign of another until the next test has started. Can't see any warnings or errors during this timeframe.

Unclear if

• sytest never made the request
• it wasn't forwarded to synapse by haproxy; we don't have haproxy logs in the archive
• synapse didn't handle the request properly

Can take another look if we see this again.
