==========================
This release fixes some regressions introduced in Synapse 1.7.0 and 1.7.1.
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a regression introduced in Synapse 1.7.1 which caused errors when attempting to backfill rooms over federation. ([\#6576](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6576))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.7.0 which caused an error on startup when upgrading from versions before 1.3.0. ([\#6578](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6578))

If acme was enabled, the sdnotify startup hook would never be run because we
would try to add it to a hook which had already fired.
There's no need to delay it: we can sdnotify as soon as we've started the
listeners.
* Remove redundant python2 support code
`str.decode()` doesn't exist on python3, so presumably this code was doing
nothing
* Filter out pushers with corrupt data
When we get a row with unparsable json, drop the row, rather than returning a
row with null `data`, which will then cause an explosion later on.
* Improve logging when we can't start a pusher
Log the ID to help us understand the problem
* Make email pusher setup more robust
We know we'll have a `data` member, since that comes from the database. What we
*don't* know is if that is a dict, and if that has a `brand` member, and if
that member is a string.
Previously we tried to be clever and filter out some unnecessary event
IDs to keep the auth chain small, but that had some annoying
interactions with state res v2 so we stop doing that for now.

This fixes a weird bug where, if you were determined enough, you could end up with a rejected event forming part of the state at a backwards-extremity. Authing that backwards extrem would then lead to us trying to pull the rejected event from the db (with allow_rejected=False), which would fail with a 404.
When we request the state/auth_events to populate a backwards extremity (on
backfill or in the case of missing events in a transaction push), we should
check that the returned events are in the right room rather than blindly using
them in the room state or auth chain.
Given that _get_events_from_store_or_dest takes a room_id, it seems clear that
it should be sanity-checking the room_id of the requested events, so let's do
it there.
Make it return the state *after* the requested event, rather than the one
before it. This is a bit easier and requires fewer calls to
get_events_from_store_or_dest.

Sometimes the filtering function can return a pruned version of an event (on top of either the event itself or an empty list), if it thinks the user should be able to see that there's an event there but not the content of that event. Therefore, the previous logic of 'if filtered is empty then we can use the event we retrieved from the database' is flawed, and we should use the event returned by the filtering function.
