* Add base starting insertion point when no chunk ID is provided
This is so we can have the marker event point to this initial
insertion event and be able to traverse the events in the first chunk.
Per changes in MSC2946, the C-S and S-S APIs for spaces summary
should use GET requests.
Until this is stable, the POST endpoints still exist.
This does not switch federation requests to use the GET version yet
since it is newly added and already deployed servers might not support
it. When switching to the stable endpoint we should switch to GET
requests.
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

- Update black version to the latest
- Run black auto formatting over the codebase
- Run autoformatting according to [`docs/code_style.md
`](80d6dc9783/docs/code_style.md)
- Update `code_style.md` docs around installing black to use the correct version
The idea is that in future tokens will encode a mapping of instance to position. However, we don't want to include the full instance name in the string representation, so instead we'll have a mapping between instance name and an immutable integer ID in the DB that we can use instead. We'll then do the lookup when we serialize/deserialize the token (we could alternatively pass around an `Instance` type that includes both the name and ID, but that turns out to be a lot more invasive).
Small cleanup PR.
* Removed the unused `is_guest` argument
* Added a safeguard to a (currently) impossible code path, fixing static checking at the same time.
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Remove all the "double return" statements which were a result of us removing all the instances of
```
defer.returnValue(...)
return
```
statements when we switched to python3 fully.
Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)
