"""Attestations ensure that users and groups can't lie about their memberships.

When a user joins a group the HS and GS swap attestations, which allow them
both to independently prove to third parties their membership.These
attestations have a validity period so need to be periodically renewed.

If a user leaves (or gets kicked out of) a group, either side can still use
their attestation to "prove" their membership, until the attestation expires.
Therefore attestations shouldn't be relied on to prove membership in important
cases, but can for less important situations, e.g. showing a users membership
of groups on their profile, showing flairs, etc.

An attestation is a signed blob of json that looks like:

    {
        "user_id": "@foo:a.example.com",
        "group_id": "+bar:b.example.com",
        "valid_until_ms": 1507994728530,
        "signatures":{"matrix.org":{"ed25519:auto":"..."}}
    }
