If nothing happens on a homeserver for >30s, the /sync request will respond with a sync token = the token we sent a request with. Apparently, this gets cached in a way that means we'll never get a newer /sync because the browser hits cache when we do the next request (with the same token).

So we should probably bust the cache on the /sync API, and presumably others (but this is probably worse because the failure mode is quite bad).

It's a bit of an edge case because the common case is that the homeserver has changes to give to clients.

After further discussion, the conclusion was that we should fix this using cache-control headers from the server, rather than using cachebusters on the client (which are a bit ming).
