Get the ID of the event closest to the given timestamp, in the
direction specified by the `dir` parameter.
If the server does not have all of the room history and does not have
an event suitably close to the requested timestamp, it can use the
corresponding [federation endpoint](/server-server-api/#get_matrixfederationv1timestamp_to_eventroomid)
to ask other servers for a suitable event.
After calling this endpoint, clients can call
[`/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}`](#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidcontexteventid)
to obtain a pagination token to retrieve the events around the returned event.
The event returned by this endpoint could be an event that the client
cannot render, and so may need to paginate in order to locate an event
that it can display, which may end up being outside of the client's
suitable range. Clients can employ different strategies to display
something reasonable to the user. For example, the client could try
paginating in one direction for a while, while looking at the
timestamps of the events that it is paginating through, and if it
exceeds a certain difference from the target timestamp, it can try
paginating in the opposite direction. The client could also simply
paginate in one direction and inform the user that the closest event
found in that direction is outside of the expected range.

Get the ID of the event closest to the given timestamp, in the
direction specified by the `dir` parameter.
This is primarily used when handling the corresponding
[client-server endpoint](/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv1roomsroomidtimestamp_to_event)
when the server does not have all of the room history, and does not
have an event suitably close to the requested timestamp.
The heuristics for deciding when to ask another homeserver for a closer
event if your homeserver doesn't have something close, are left up to
the homeserver implementation, although the heuristics will probably be
based on whether the closest event is a forward/backward extremity
indicating it's next to a gap of events which are potentially closer.
A good heuristic for which servers to try first is to sort by servers
that have been in the room the longest because they're most likely to
have anything we ask about.
After the local homeserver receives the response, it should determine,
using the `origin_server_ts` property, whether the returned event is
closer to the requested timestamp than the closest event that it could
find locally. If so, it should try to backfill this event via the
[`/event/{event_id}`](#get_matrixfederationv1eventeventid) endpoint so
that it is available to for a client to query.
