If a Synapse module's config block were empty in YAML, thus being translated to a `Nonetype` in Python, then some modules could fail as that None ends up getting passed to their `parse_config` method. Modules are expected to accept a `dict` instead.
This PR ensures that if the user does end up specifying an empty config block (such as what [the default oidc config in the sample config](5310808d3b/docs/sample_config.yaml (L1816-L1845)) states) then `None` is not passed to the module. An empty dict is passed instead.
This code assumes that no existing modules are relying on receiving a `None` config block, but I'd really hope that they aren't.
`distutils` is pretty much deprecated these days, and replaced with
`setuptools`. It's also annoying because it's you can't `pip install` it, and
it's hard to figure out which debian package we should depend on to make sure
it's there.
Since we only use it for a tiny function anyway, let's just vendor said
function into our codebase.
The idea is that the parse_config method of extension modules can raise either a ConfigError or a JsonValidationError,
and it will be magically turned into a legible error message. There's a few components to it:
* Separating the "path" and the "message" parts of a ConfigError, so that we can fiddle with the path bit to turn it
into an absolute path.
* Generally improving the way ConfigErrors get printed.
* Passing in the config path to load_module so that it can wrap any exceptions that get caught appropriately.
Not being able to serialise `frozendicts` is fragile, and it's annoying to have
to think about which serialiser you want. There's no real downside to
supporting frozendicts, so let's just have one json encoder.
This allows trailing commas in multi-line arg lists.
Minor, but we might as well keep our formatting current with regard to
our minimum supported Python version.

* Add `DeferredCache.get_immediate` method
A bunch of things that are currently calling `DeferredCache.get` are only
really interested in the result if it's completed. We can optimise and simplify
this case.
* Remove unused 'default' parameter to DeferredCache.get()
* another get_immediate instance
* Remove `on_timeout_cancel` from `timeout_deferred`
The `on_timeout_cancel` param to `timeout_deferred` wasn't always called on a
timeout (in particular if the canceller raised an exception), so it was
unreliable. It was also only used in one place, and to be honest it's easier to
do what it does a different way.
* Fix handling of connection timeouts in outgoing http requests
Turns out that if we get a timeout during connection, then a different
exception is raised, which wasn't always handled correctly.
To fix it, catch the exception in SimpleHttpClient and turn it into a
RequestTimedOutError (which is already a documented exception).
Also add a description to RequestTimedOutError so that we can see which stage
it failed at.
* Fix incorrect handling of timeouts reading federation responses
This was trapping the wrong sort of TimeoutError, so was never being hit.
The effect was relatively minor, but we should fix this so that it does the
expected thing.
* Fix inconsistent handling of `timeout` param between methods
`get_json`, `put_json` and `delete_json` were applying a different timeout to
the response body to `post_json`; bring them in line and test.

slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.

Merge tag 'v1.20.0rc3' into develop
Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8291))
By importing from canonicaljson the simplejson module was still being used
in some situations. After this change the std lib json is consistenty used
throughout Synapse.
