When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
If account validity is enabled in the server's configuration, this job will run at startup as a background job and will stick an expiration date to any registered account missing one.

Since we're not doing refresh tokens any more, we should start killing off the
dead code paths. /tokenrefresh itself is a bit of a thornier subject, since
there might be apps out there using it, but we can at least not generate
refresh tokens on new logins.
This doesn't cover *all* of the registration flows, but it does cover the most
common ones: in particular: shared_secret registration, appservice
registration, and normal user/pass registration.
Pull device_id from the registration parameters. Register the device in the
devices table. Associate the device with the returned access and refresh
tokens. Profit.
* `RegistrationHandler.appservice_register` no longer issues an access token:
instead it is left for the caller to do it. (There are two of these, one in
`synapse/rest/client/v1/register.py`, which now simply calls
`AuthHandler.issue_access_token`, and the other in
`synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, which is covered below).
* In `synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, move the generation of
access_tokens into `_create_registration_details`. This means that the normal
flow no longer needs to call `AuthHandler.issue_access_token`; the
shared-secret flow can tell `RegistrationHandler.register` not to generate a
token; and the appservice flow continues to work despite the above change.
