Omit state field from /messages response if empty (#2940)

The field type is `[ClientEvent]` in the
[spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidmessages),
but right now `null` can also be returned. Omit the field completely if
it's empty. Some clients (rightfully) assume it's either not present at
all or it's of the right type (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/9913).
