* make it clear that if you installed from a package manager, you should use
that to upgrade
* Document the new way of getting the server version (cf #4878)
* Write some words about downgrading.
This is a partial revert of #5893. The problem is that if we drop these tables
in the same release as removing the code that writes to them, it prevents users
users from being able to roll back to a previous release.
So let's leave the tables in place for now, and remember to drop them in a
subsequent release.
(Note that these tables haven't been *read* for *years*, so any missing rows
resulting from a temporary upgrade to vNext won't cause a problem.)
Removes the POST method from `/password_reset/<medium>/submit_token/` as it's only used by phone number verification which Synapse does not support yet.
3PID invites require making a request to an identity server to check that the invited 3PID has an Matrix ID linked, and if so, what it is.
These requests are being made on behalf of a user. The user will supply an identity server and an access token for that identity server. The homeserver will then forward this request with the access token (using an `Authorization` header) and, if the given identity server doesn't support v2 endpoints, will fall back to v1 (which doesn't require any access tokens).
Requires: ~~#5976~~
Broke in #5971
Basically the bug is that if get_current_state_deltas returns no new updates and we then take the max pos, its possible that we miss an update that happens in between the two calls. (e.g. get_current_state_deltas looks up to stream pos 5, then an event persists and so getting the max stream pos returns 6, meaning that next time we check for things with a stream pos bigger than 6)
This allows support users to be created even on MAU limits via
the admin API. Support users are excluded from MAU after creation,
so it makes sense to exclude them in creation - except if the
whole host is in disabled state.

Some small fixes to `room_member.py` found while doing other PRs.
1. Add requester to the base `_remote_reject_invite` method.
2. `send_membership_event`'s docstring was out of date and took in a `remote_room_hosts` arg that was not used and no calling function provided.
Another small fixup noticed during work on a larger PR. The `origin` field of `add_display_name_to_third_party_invite` is not used and likely was just carried over from the `on_PUT` method of `FederationThirdPartyInviteExchangeServlet` which, like all other servlets, provides an `origin` argument.
Since it's not used anywhere in the handler function though, we should remove it from the function arguments.
Previously if the first registered user was a "support" or "bot" user,
when the first real user registers, the auto-join rooms were not
created.
Fix to exclude non-real (ie users with a special user type) users
when counting how many users there are to determine whether we should
auto-create a room.

This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
