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.
If 'url' is not specified, they will not be pushed for events or queries. This
is useful for bots who simply wish to reserve large chunks of user/alias
namespace, and don't care about being pushed for events.
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.

The existing content can still be downloaded. The last upload to the

the upload API.
Renames ``load_config`` to ``load_or_generate_config``
Adds a method called ``load_config`` that just loads the
config.
The main synapse.app.homeserver will continue to use
``load_or_generate_config`` to retain backwards compat.
However new worker processes can use ``load_config`` to
load the config avoiding some of the cruft needed to generate
the config.
As the new ``load_config`` method is expected to be used by new
configs it removes support for the legacy commandline overrides
that ``load_or_generate_config`` supports
Always set the config key with an empty list, even if a list isn't specified.
This means that the codepaths are the same for both the empty list and
for a missing key. Since the behaviour is the same for both cases this
makes the code somewhat easier to reason about.
