Due to updates to MSC2675 this includes a few fixes:
* Include bundled aggregations for /sync.
* Do not include bundled aggregations for /initialSync and /events.
* Do not bundle aggregations for state events.
* Clarifies comments and variable names.
Instead of only known relation types. This also reworks the background
update for thread relations to crawl events and search for any relation
type, not just threaded relations.
Adds validation to the Client-Server API to ensure that
the potential thread head does not relate to another event
already. This results in not allowing a thread to "fork" into
other threads.
If the target event is unknown for some reason (maybe it isn't
visible to your homeserver), but is the target of other events
it is assumed that the thread can be created from it. Otherwise,
it is rejected as an unknown event.

This disallows (str, bytes) and (bytes, str)
* DomainSpecificString.SIGIL is a ClassVar
* Introduce `should_include_local_users_in_dir`
We exclude three kinds of local users from the user_directory tables. At
present we don't consistently exclude all three in the same places. This
commit introduces a new function to gather those exclusion conditions
together. Because we have to handle local and remote users in different
ways, I've made that function only consider the case of remote users.
It's the caller's responsibility to make the local versus remote
distinction clear and correct.
A test fixup is required. The test now hits a path which makes db
queries against the users table. The expected rows were missing, because
we were using a dummy user that hadn't actually been registered.
We also add new test cases to covert the exclusion logic.
----
By my reading this makes these changes:
* When an app service user registers or changes their profile, they will
_not_ be added to the user directory. (Previously only support and
deactivated users were excluded). This is consistent with the logic that
rebuilds the user directory. See also [the discussion
here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10914#discussion_r716859548).
* When rebuilding the directory, exclude support and disabled users from
room sharing tables. Previously only appservice users were excluded.
* Exclude all three categories of local users when rebuilding the
directory. Previously `_populate_user_directory_process_users` didn't do
any exclusion.

This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
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.

Required some fixes due to merge conflicts with #6739, but nothing too hairy. The first commit is the same as the original (after merge conflict resolution) then two more for compatibility with the latest sync code.
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
This leaves out all optional keys from /sync. This should be fine for all clients tested against conduit already, but it may break some clients, as such we should check, that at least most of them don't break horribly and maybe back out some of the individual changes. (We can probably always leave out groups for example, while the others may cause more issues.)

This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

This change ensures that the appservice registration behaviour follows the spec. We decided to do this for Dendrite, so it made sense to also make a PR for synapse to correct the behaviour.
This bug was discovered by DINUM. We were modifying `serialized_event["content"]`, which - if you've got `USE_FROZEN_DICTS` turned on or are [using a third party rules module](17cd48fe51/synapse/events/third_party_rules.py (L73-L76)) - will raise a 500 if you try to a edit a reply to a message.
`serialized_event["content"]` could be set to the edit event's content, instead of a copy of it, which is bad as we attempt to modify it. Instead, we also end up modifying the original event's content. DINUM uses a third party rules module, which meant the event's content got frozen and thus an exception was raised.
To be clear, the problem is not that the event's content was frozen. In fact doing so helped us uncover the fact we weren't copying event content correctly.
Instead of if the user does not have a password hash. This allows a SSO
user to add a password to their account, but only if the local password
database is configured.
This PR remove the cache for the `get_shared_rooms_for_users` storage method (the db method driving the experimental "what rooms do I share with this user?" feature: [MSC2666](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2666)). Currently subsequent requests to the endpoint will return the same result, even if your shared rooms with that user have changed.
The cache was added in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7785, but we forgot to ensure it was invalidated appropriately.
Upon attempting to invalidate it, I found that the cache had to be entirely invalidated whenever a user (remote or local) joined or left a room. This didn't make for a very useful cache, especially for a function that may or may not be called very often. Thus, I've opted to remove it instead of invalidating it.

There's some prelimiary work here to pull out the construction of a jinja environment to a separate function.
I wanted to load the template at display time rather than load time, so that it's easy to update on the fly. Honestly, I think we should do this with all our templates: the risk of ending up with malformed templates is far outweighed by the improved turnaround time for an admin trying to update them.
Fixes#8966.
* Factor out build_synapse_client_resource_tree
Start a function which will mount resources common to all workers.
* Move sso init into build_synapse_client_resource_tree
... so that we don't have to do it for each worker
* Fix SSO-login-via-a-worker
Expose the SSO login endpoints on workers, like the documentation says.
* Update workers config for new endpoints
Add documentation for endpoints recently added (#8942, #9017, #9262)
* remove submit_token from workers endpoints list
this *doesn't* work on workers (yet).
* changelog
* Add a comment about the odd path for SAML2Resource
There are going to be a couple of paths to get to the final step of SSO reg, and I want the URL in the browser to consistent. So, let's move the final step onto a separate path, which we redirect to.
This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via
the admin API and adds documentation for it.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their
client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms.
Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead
to confusing or broken behaviour for the client.
* Factor out a common TestHtmlParser
Looks like I'm doing this in a few different places.
* Improve OIDC login test
Complete the OIDC login flow, rather than giving up halfway through.
* Ensure that OIDC login works with multiple OIDC providers
* Fix bugs in handling clientRedirectUrl
- don't drop duplicate query-params, or params with no value
- allow utf-8 in query-params
0dd2649c1 (#9112) changed the signature of `auth_via_oidc`. Meanwhile,
26d10331e (#9091) introduced a new test which relied on the old signature of
`auth_via_oidc`. The two branches were never tested together until they landed
in develop.
* make the OIDC bits of the test work at a higher level - via the REST api instead of poking the OIDCHandler directly.
* Move it to test_login.py, where I think it fits better.
* Implement CasHandler.handle_redirect_request
... to make it match OidcHandler and SamlHandler
* Clean up interface for OidcHandler.handle_redirect_request
Make it accept `client_redirect_url=None`.
* Clean up interface for `SamlHandler.handle_redirect_request`
... bring it into line with CAS and OIDC by making it take a Request parameter,
move the magic for `client_redirect_url` for UIA into the handler, and fix the
return type to be a `str` rather than a `bytes`.
* Define a common protocol for SSO auth provider impls
* Give SsoIdentityProvider an ID and register them
* Combine the SSO Redirect servlets
Now that the SsoHandler knows about the identity providers, we can combine the
various *RedirectServlets into a single implementation which delegates to the
right IdP.
* changelog
The two are equivalent, but really we want to check the HTTP result that got
returned to the channel, not the code that the Request object *intended* to
return to the channel.
Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
This PR adds a `room_version` argument to the `RestHelper`'s `create_room_as` function for tests. I plan to use this for testing knocking, which currently uses an unstable room version.
The spec requires synapse to support `identifier` dicts for `m.login.password`
user-interactive auth, which it did not (instead, it required an undocumented
`user` parameter.)
To fix this properly, we need to pull the code that interprets `identifier`
into `AuthHandler.validate_login` so that it can be called from the UIA code.
Fixes#5665.
remove the stubbing out of `request.process`, so that `requestReceived` also renders the request via the appropriate resource.
Replace render() with a stub for now.
Where we want to render a request against a specific Resource, call the global
make_request() function rather than the one in HomeserverTestCase, allowing us
to pass in an appropriate `Site`.
We do it this way round so that only the "owner" can delete the access token (i.e. `/logout/all` by the "owner" also deletes that token, but `/logout/all` by the "target user" doesn't).
A future PR will add an API for creating such a token.
When the target user and authenticated entity are different the `Processed request` log line will be logged with a: `{@admin:server as @bob:server} ...`. I'm not convinced by that format (especially since it adds spaces in there, making it harder to use `cut -d ' '` to chop off the start of log lines). Suggestions welcome.
This PR allows Synapse modules making use of the `ModuleApi` to create and send non-membership events into a room. This can useful to have modules send messages, or change power levels in a room etc. Note that they must send event through a user that's already in the room.
The non-membership event limitation is currently arbitrary, as it's another chunk of work and not necessary at the moment.
* Optimise and test state fetching for 3p event rules
Getting all the events at once is much more efficient than getting them
individually
* Test that 3p event rules can modify events
PR #8292 tried to maintain backwards compat with modules which don't provide a
`check_visibility_can_be_modified` method, but the tests weren't being run,
and the check didn't work.
This PR allows `ThirdPartyEventRules` modules to view, manipulate and block changes to the state of whether a room is published in the public rooms directory.
While the idea of whether a room is in the public rooms list is not kept within an event in the room, `ThirdPartyEventRules` generally deal with controlling which modifications can happen to a room. Public rooms fits within that idea, even if its toggle state isn't controlled through a state event.
The idea is that in future tokens will encode a mapping of instance to position. However, we don't want to include the full instance name in the string representation, so instead we'll have a mapping between instance name and an immutable integer ID in the DB that we can use instead. We'll then do the lookup when we serialize/deserialize the token (we could alternatively pass around an `Instance` type that includes both the name and ID, but that turns out to be a lot more invasive).
Broken in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8275 and has yet to be put in a release. Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8418.
`next_link` is an optional parameter. However, we were checking whether the `next_link` param was valid, even if it wasn't provided. In that case, `next_link` was `None`, which would clearly not be a valid URL.
This would prevent password reset and other operations if `next_link` was not provided, and the `next_link_domain_whitelist` config option was set.
Add ability for ASes to /login using the `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` login `type`.

This PR adds a confirmation step to resetting your user password between clicking the link in your email and your password actually being reset.
This is to better align our password reset flow with the industry standard of requiring a confirmation from the user after email validation.
This is a config option ported over from DINUM's Sydent: https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent/pull/285
They've switched to validating 3PIDs via Synapse rather than Sydent, and would like to retain this functionality.
This original purpose for this change is phishing prevention. This solution could also potentially be replaced by a similar one to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004, but across all `*/submit_token` endpoint.
This option may still be useful to enterprise even with that safeguard in place though, if they want to be absolutely sure that their employees don't follow links to other domains.

#8174 removed the `is_guest` parameter from `get_room_data`, at the same time that #8157 was merged using it, colliding together to break unit tests on develop.
This PR removes the `is_guest` parameter from the call in the broken test.

Small cleanup PR.
* Removed the unused `is_guest` argument
* Added a safeguard to a (currently) impossible code path, fixing static checking at the same time.

Synapse 1.19.1rc1 (2020-08-25)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.19.0 where appservices with ratelimiting disabled would still be ratelimited when joining rooms. ([\#8139](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8139))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.19.0 that would cause e.g. profile updates to fail due to incorrect application of rate limits on join requests. ([\#8153](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8153))
`StatsHandler` handles updates to the `current_state_delta_stream`, and updates room stats such as the amount of state events, joined users, etc.
However, it counts every new join membership as a new user entering a room (and that user being in another room), whereas it's possible for a user's membership status to go from join -> join, for instance when they change their per-room profile information.
This PR adds a check for join->join membership transitions, and bails out early, as none of the further checks are necessary at that point.
Due to this bug, membership stats in many rooms have ended up being wildly larger than their true values. I am not sure if we also want to include a migration step which recalculates these statistics (possibly using the `_populate_stats_process_rooms` bg update).
Bug introduced in the initial implementation https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/4338.
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
