If a sync request does not need to calculate per-room entries &
is not generating presence & is not generating device list data
(e.g. during initial sync) avoid the expensive calculation of room
specific data.
This is a micro-optimisation for clients syncing simply to receive
to-device information.
This expands the previous optimisation from being only for initial
sync to being for all sync requests.
It also inverts some of the logic to be inclusive instead of exclusive.
The `parse_enum` helper pulls an enum value from the query string
(by delegating down to the parse_string helper with values generated
from the enum).
This is used to pull out "f" and "b" in most places and then we thread
the resulting Direction enum throughout more code.
`run_in_background` calls re-use the current logging context. When they
are not awaited, they can complete after the current logging context has
been marked as finished, which leads to log spam. Use
`run_as_background_process` instead.
Fixes one of the instances of #13090.

* Faster joins: Update room stats and user directory on workers when done
When finishing a partial state join to a room, we update the current
state of the room without persisting additional events. Workers receive
notice of the current state update over replication, but neglect to wake
the room stats and user directory updaters, which then get incidentally
triggered the next time an event is persisted or an unrelated event
persister sends out a stream position update.
We wake the room stats and user directory updaters at the appropriate
time in this commit.

* Avoid clearing out forward extremities when doing a second remote join
When joining a restricted room where the local homeserver does not have
a user able to issue invites, we perform a second remote join. We want
to avoid clearing out forward extremities in this case because the
forward extremities we have are up to date and clearing out forward
extremities creates a window in which the room can get bricked if
Synapse crashes.

Currently, we will try to start a new partial state sync every time we
perform a remote join, which is undesirable if there is already one
running for a given room.
We intend to perform remote joins whenever additional local users wish
to join a partial state room, so let's ensure that we do not start more
than one concurrent partial state sync for any given room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a race condition where the homeserver leaves a room and later
rejoins while the partial state sync from the previous membership is
still running. There is no guarantee that the previous partial state
sync will process the latest join, so we restart it if needed.

This has two related changes:
* It enables fast-path processing for an empty filter (`[]`) which was
previously only used for wildcard not-filters (`["*"]`).
* It special cases a `/sync` filter with no-rooms to skip all room
processing, previously we would partially skip processing, but would
generally still calculate intermediate values for each room which were
then unused.
Future changes might consider further optimizations:
* Skip calculating per-room account data when all rooms are filtered (currently
this is thrown away).
* Make similar improvements to other endpoints which support filters.
PKCE can protect against certain attacks and is enabled by default. Support
can be controlled manually by setting the pkce_method of each oidc_providers
entry to 'auto' (default), 'always', or 'never'.
This is required by Twitter OAuth 2.0 support.
OpenID specifies the format of the user info endpoint and some
OAuth 2.0 IdPs do not follow it, e.g. NextCloud and Twitter.
This adds subject_template and picture_template options to the
default mapping provider for more flexibility in matching those user
info responses.
Then adapts calling code to retry when needed so it doesn't 500

This avoids pulling additional state information (and events) from
the database for each item returned in the hierarchy response.
The room type might be out of date until a background update finishes
running, the worst impact of this would be spaces being treated as rooms

update finishes.

A batch of changes intended to make it easier to trace to-device messages through the system.
The intention here is that a client can set a property org.matrix.msgid in any to-device message it sends. That ID is then included in any tracing or logging related to the message. (Suggestions as to where this field should be documented welcome. I'm not enthusiastic about speccing it - it's very much an optional extra to help with debugging.)
I've also generally improved the data we send to opentracing for these messages.
StreamChangeCache.get_all_changed_entities can return None to signify
it does not have information at the given stream position. Two callers (related
to device lists and presence) were treating this response the same as an empty
list (i.e. there being no updates).

Include the thread_id field when sending read receipts over

Fixes#9357.
This was the last untyped handler from the HomeServer object. Since
it was being treated as Any (and thus unchecked) it was being used
incorrectly in a few places.
When a local device list change is added to
`device_lists_changes_in_room`, the `converted_to_destinations` flag is
set to `FALSE` and the `_handle_new_device_update_async` background
process is started. This background process looks for unconverted rows
in `device_lists_changes_in_room`, copies them to
`device_lists_outbound_pokes` and updates the flag.
To update the `converted_to_destinations` flag, the database performs a
`DELETE` and `INSERT` internally, which fragments the table. To avoid
this, track unconverted rows using a `(stream ID, room ID)` position
instead of the flag.
From now on, the `converted_to_destinations` column indicates rows that
need converting to outbound pokes, but does not indicate whether the
conversion has already taken place.

Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13815 which tracks event signature failures.
With this PR, we avoid the call to the costly `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` because the signature failure will count as an attempt before and we filter events based on the backoff before calling `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` now.
For example, this will save us 156s out of the 185s total that this `matrix.org` `/messages` request. If you want to see the full Jaeger trace of this, you can drag and drop this `trace.json` into your own Jaeger, https://gist.github.com/MadLittleMods/4b12d0d0afe88c2f65ffcc907306b761
To explain this exact scenario around `/messages` -> backfill, we call `/backfill` and first check the signatures of the 100 events. We see bad signature for `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` and `$zuOn2Rd2vsC7SUia3Hp3r6JSkSFKcc5j3QTTqW_0jDw` (both member events). Then we process the 98 events remaining that have valid signatures but one of the events references `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` as a `prev_event`. So we have to do the whole `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` rigmarole which pulls in those same events which fail again because the signatures are still invalid.
- `backfill`
- `outgoing-federation-request` `/backfill`
- `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`
- `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one` for each event received over backfill
- ❗ `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` fails with `Signature on retrieved event was invalid.`: `unable to verify signature for sender domain xxx: 401: Failed to find any key to satisfy: _FetchKeyRequest(...)`

The callers either set a default limit or manually handle a None-limit
later on (by setting a default value).
Update the callers to always instantiate PaginationConfig with a default
limit and then assume the limit is non-None.
Implement the /threads endpoint from MSC3856.
This is currently unstable and behind an experimental configuration
flag.
It includes a background update to backfill data, results from
the /threads endpoint will be partial until that finishes.
By getting the joined rooms before the current token we avoid any reading
history to confirm a user *was* in a room. We can then use any membership
change events, which we already fetch during sync, to determine the final
list of joined room IDs.
When retrieving counts of notifications segment the results based on the
thread ID, but choose whether to return them as individual threads or as
a single summed field by letting the client opt-in via a sync flag.
The summarization code is also updated to be per thread, instead of per
room.
Keep the old behavior (of including the original_event field) for any
requests to the /unstable version of the endpoint, but do not include
the field when the /v1 version is used.
This should avoid new clients from depending on this field, but will
not help with current dependencies.
MSC3316 declares that both /rooms/{roomId}/send and /rooms/{roomId}/state
should accept a ts parameter for appservices. This change expands support
to /state and adds tests.
Spawned while working on [`get_users_in_room` mis-uses](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13958#discussion_r984074897) and thinking we could use `get_local_users_in_room` here but we can't.
From first glance, it seemed like this was only using local users from all of the `is_mine_id(user_id)` checks but I see that it does actually use remote users. Just making things a little more clear here what it does and mentions remote users so maybe that will be more obvious in the future.
Fixes#13942. Introduced in #13575.
Basically, let's only get the ordered set of hosts out of the DB if we need an ordered set of hosts. Since we split the function up the caching won't be as good, but I think it will still be fine as e.g. multiple backfill requests for the same room will hit the cache.
There is no need to grab thousands of backfill points when we only need 5 to make the `/backfill` request with. We need to grab a few extra in case the first few aren't visible in the history.
Previously, we grabbed thousands of backfill points from the database, then sorted and filtered them in the app. Fetching the 4.6k backfill points for `#matrix:matrix.org` from the database takes ~50ms - ~570ms so it's not like this saves a lot of time 🤷. But it might save us more time now that `get_backfill_points_in_room`/`get_insertion_event_backward_extremities_in_room` are more complicated after https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635
This PR moves the filtering and limiting to the SQL query so we just have less data to work with in the first place.

c.f. #12993 (comment), point 3
This stores all device list updates that we receive while partial joins are ongoing, and processes them once we have the full state.
Note: We don't actually process the device lists in the same ways as if we weren't partially joined. Instead of updating the device list remote cache, we simply notify local users that a change in the remote user's devices has happened. I think this is safe as if the local user requests the keys for the remote user and we don't have them we'll simply fetch them as normal.
This PR begins work on batching up events during the creation of a room. The PR splits out the creation and sending/persisting of the events. The first three events in the creation of the room-creating the room, joining the creator to the room, and the power levels event are sent sequentially, while the subsequent events are created and collected to be sent at the end of the function. This is currently done by appending them to a list and then iterating over the list to send, the next step (after this PR) would be to send and persist the collected events as a batch.
Since #11482, we're saving sessions IDs from upstream IdPs, but we've been losing them when the user goes through a user mapping session on account registration.
During a `lazy_load_members` `/sync`, we look through auth events in
rooms with partial state to find prior membership events. When such a
membership is not found, an error is logged.
Since the first join event for a user never has a prior membership event
to cite, the error would always be logged when one appeared in the room
timeline.
Avoid logging errors for such events.

When a remote user leaves the last room shared with the homeserver, we
have to mark their device list as unsubscribed, otherwise we would hold

lead to E2EE failures until the next change to the remote user's device

The room ID of each child is in the `state_key` field and is still
available.
Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)).
There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room:
1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state`
- Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill`
- This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳
1. `get_current_hosts_in_room`
- Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators
1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events`
- Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop`

### Query performance
#### Before
The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s):
```
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036)
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243)
```
But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$'))
FROM current_state_events
WHERE
type = 'm.room.member'
AND membership = 'join'
AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
4130
(1 row)
Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182)
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
80814
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events;
count
---------
8162847
synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') );
pg_size_pretty
----------------
4702 MB
```
#### After
I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart.
After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
Timing is on.
synapse=# SELECT
substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host
FROM current_state_events c
/* Get the depth of the event from the events table */
INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id)
WHERE
c.type = 'm.room.member'
AND c.membership = 'join'
AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'
GROUP BY host
ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC;
Time: 333.800 ms
```
#### Going further
To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up.
Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan:
- https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Loose_indexscan
- Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/
- https://www.timescale.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-up-to-8000x-faster-on-postgresql/
Use dedicated `get_local_users_in_room` to find local users when calculating `join_authorised_via_users_server` ("the authorising user for joining a restricted room") of a `/make_join` request.

Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
