            txn_id
            allow_no_prev_events: Whether to allow this event to be created an empty
                list of prev_events. Normally this is prohibited just because most
                events should have a prev_event and we should only use this in special
                cases (previously useful for MSC2716).

                new event.

                If None, they will be requested from the database.

                The event ids to use as the auth_events for the new event.
                Should normally be left as None, which will cause them to be calculated
                based on the room state at the prev_events.

                If non-None, prev_event_ids must also be provided.

                The full state at a given event. This was previously used particularly
                by the MSC2716 /batch_send endpoint. This should normally be left as

            require_consent: Whether to check if the requester has
                consented to the privacy policy.

            outlier: Indicates whether the event is an `outlier`, i.e. if
                it's from an arbitrary point and floating in the DAG as
                opposed to being inline with the current DAG.

                based on the prev_events.

                for batch persisting
