`synapse.config.__main__` has the possibility to read a config item. This can be used to conveniently also validate the config is valid before trying to start Synapse.
The "read" command broke in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10916 as it now requires passing in "server.server_name" for example.
Also made the read command optional so one can just call this with just the confirm file reference and get a "Config parses OK" if things are ok.

Updating mypy past version 0.9 means that third-party stubs are no-longer distributed with typeshed. See http://mypy-lang.blogspot.com/2021/06/mypy-0900-released.html for details.
We therefore pull in stub packages in setup.py
Additionally, some modules that we were previously ignoring import failures for now have stubs. So let's use them.
The rest of this change consists of fixups to make the newer mypy + stubs pass CI.

This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
This avoids the overhead of searching through the various
configuration classes by directly referencing the class that
the attributes are in.
It also improves type hints since mypy can now resolve the
types of the configuration variables.
It's a simplification, but one that'll help make the user directory logic easier
to follow with the other changes upcoming. It's not strictly required for those
changes, but this will help simplify the resulting logic that listens for
`m.room.member` events and generally make the logic easier to follow.
This means the config option `search_all_users` ends up controlling the
search query only, and not the data we store. The cost of doing so is an
extra row in the `user_directory` and `user_directory_search` tables for
each local user which
- belongs to no public rooms
- belongs to no private rooms of size ≥ 2
I think the cost of this will be marginal (since they'll already have entries
in `users` and `profiles` anyway).
As a small upside, a homeserver whose directory was built with this
change can toggle `search_all_users` without having to rebuild their
directory.

Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).
This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
Synapse 1.42.0rc2 (2021-09-06)
==============================
This version of Synapse removes deprecated room-management admin APIs, removes out-of-date
email pushers, and improves error handling for fallback templates for user-interactive
authentication. For more information on these points, server administrators are
encouraged to read [the upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1420).
Features
--------
- Support room version 9 from [MSC3375](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375). ([\#10747](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10747))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Print a warning when using one of the deprecated `template_dir` settings. ([\#10768](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10768))
The deprecation itself happened in #10596 which shipped with Synapse v1.41.0. However, it doesn't seem fair to suddenly drop support for these settings in ~4-6w without being more vocal about said deprecation.
Several configuration sections are using separate settings for custom template directories, which can be confusing. This PR adds a new top-level configuration for a custom template directory which is then used for every module. The only exception is the consent templates, since the consent template directory require a specific hierarchy, so it's probably better that it stays separate from everything else.
