This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
Template config files
* Imagine a system composed entirely of x, y, z etc and the basic operations..
Wait George, why XOR? Why not just neq?

Fixes#5833
The emailconfig code was attempting to pull incorrect config file names. This corrects that, while also marking a difference between a config file variable that's a filepath versus a str containing HTML.
The `expire_access_token` didn't do what it sounded like it should do. What it
actually did was make Synapse enforce the 'time' caveat on macaroons used as
access tokens, but since our access token macaroons never contained such a
caveat, it was always a no-op.
(The code to add 'time' caveats was removed back in v0.18.5, in #1656)
* Opentracing survival guide
* Update decorator names in doc
* Doc cleanup
These are all alterations as a result of comments in #5703, it
includes mostly typos and clarifications. The most interesting
changes are:
- Split developer and user docs into two sections
- Add a high level description of OpenTracing
* newsfile
* Move contributer specific info to docstring.
* Sample config.
* Trailing whitespace.
* Update 5703.misc
* Apply suggestions from code review
Mostly just rewording parts of the docs for clarity.

Clean up config settings and dead code.
This is mostly about cleaning up the config format, to bring it into line with our conventions. In particular:
* There should be a blank line after `## Section ##' headings
* There should be a blank line between each config setting
* There should be a `#`-only line between a comment and the setting it describes
* We don't really do the `# #` style commenting-out of whole sections if we can help it
* rename `tracer_enabled` to `enabled`
While we're here, do more config parsing upfront, which makes it easier to use
later on.
Also removes redundant code from LogContextScopeManager.
Also changes the changelog fragment to a `feature` - it's exciting!
