This requires a bit of fettling, because I want to return a helpful error
message too but we don't want to distinguish between unknown user and invalid
password. To avoid hardcoding the error message into 15 places in the code,
I've had to refactor a few methods to return None instead of throwing.
Fixes https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SYN-744
Allows delegating the password auth to an external module. This also
moves the LDAP auth to using this system, allowing it to be removed from
the synapse tree entirely in the future.
- properly parse return values of ldap bind() calls
- externalize authentication methods
- change control flow to be more error-resilient
- unbind ldap connections in many places
- improve log messages and loglevels
The name 'result' is of bool type and has no len property,
resulting in a TypeError. Futhermore in the flow control
conn.response is observed and hence should be reported.

In case one does not define bind_dn in ldap configuration, filter
attribute is not declared. Since auth code only uses ldap_filter attribute
when according LDAP mode is selected, it is safe to only declare the
attribute in that case.

Add a 'devices' table to the storage, as well as a 'device_id' column to
refresh_tokens.
Allow the client to pass a device_id, and initial_device_display_name, to
/login. If login is successful, then register the device in the devices table
if it wasn't known already. If no device_id was supplied, make one up.
Associate the device_id with the access token and refresh token, so that we can
get at it again later. Ensure that the device_id is copied from the refresh
token to the access_token when the token is refreshed.
Make sure that we have the canonical user_id *before* calling
get_login_tuple_for_user_id.
Replace login_with_password with a method which just validates the password,
and have the caller call get_login_tuple_for_user_id. This brings the password
flow into line with the other flows, and will give us a place to register the
device_id if necessary.
Use the pure-python ldap3 library, which eliminates the need for a
system dependency.
Offer both a `search` and `simple_bind` mode, for more sophisticated
ldap scenarios.
- `search` tries to find a matching DN within the `user_base` while
employing the `user_filter`, then tries the bind when a single
matching DN was found.
- `simple_bind` tries the bind against a specific DN by combining the
localpart and `user_base`
Offer support for STARTTLS on a plain connection.
The configuration was changed to reflect these new possibilities.

- At the very least, this TypeError caused logins to fail on my own
running instance of Synapse, and the simple (explicit) UTF-8
conversion resolved login errors for me.

Were it not for that fact that you can't use the base handler in the pusher because it pulls in the world. Comitting while I fix that on a different branch.
pycharm supports them so there is no need to use the other format.
Might as well convert the existing strings to reduce the risk of
people accidentally cargo culting the wrong doc string format.
