Duplicate indexes present on PostgreSQL

[Omar007]

Background information

• Dendrite version or git SHA: v0.13.7
• SQLite3 or Postgres?: Postgres, postgres:15-alpine
• Running in Docker?: Yes, ghcr.io/matrix-org/dendrite-monolith:v0.13.7

Description

• What is the problem: duplicate indexes that are not needed exist in the dendrite database when deployed on PostgreSQL.
• Who is affected: as far as I can tell it affects everyone using PostgreSQL. I don't know if a similar problem exists for SQLite.
• How is this bug manifesting: it affects database performance negatively.
• When did this first appear: probably during a migration/update where the new/extra indexes where added. I don't know which/when.

Steps to reproduce

• Have dendrite deployed on PostgreSQL
• Analyze the database (an easy way for this specific case would be to use something like pgHero)
• Find that certain indexes encompass others
