At the moment, fetchSnapshotByTimestamp only fetches the current snapshot directly when the requested timestamp is null. For any other timestamp it rebuilds the snapshot from the milestone snapshot plus ops.

This means that if the requested timestamp is after the document's latest op (i.e. after the current snapshot's mtime), and the ops have since been deleted or TTLed away, the fetch fails with a "Missing ops" error - even though the current snapshot is intact and is exactly the snapshot we should be serving.

This change always fetches the current snapshot first, and serves it directly when the requested timestamp is after its mtime. As well as fixing the missing-ops case, this avoids replaying ops whenever the timestamp is newer than the current version, at the cost of one extra snapshot lookup in the cases that do still need ops.

At the moment, `fetchSnapshotByTimestamp` only fetches the current
snapshot directly when the requested timestamp is `null`. For any other
timestamp it rebuilds the snapshot from the milestone snapshot plus ops.

latest op (i.e. after the current snapshot's `mtime`), and the ops have
since been deleted or TTLed away, the fetch fails with a "Missing ops"
error - even though the current snapshot is intact and is exactly the
snapshot we should be serving.
