Update worker docs to update preferred settings for pusher and federation_sender (#14493)
* Fix one typo on line 3700(and apparently do something to other lines, no idea) * Update config_documentation.md with more information about how federation_senders and pushers settings can be handled. Specifically, that the instance map style of config does not require the special other variables that enable and disable functionality and that a single worker CAN be added to the map not only just two or more. * Extra line here for consistency and appearance. * Add link to sygnal repo. * Add deprecation notice to workers.md and point to the newer alternative method of defining this functionality. * Changelog * Correct version number of Synapse the deprecation is happening in. * Update quiet deprecation with simple notice and suggestion.
