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.
This reverts commit ce5bcefc60.

This allows registration to be handled by a worker, though the actual
write to the database still happens on master.
Note: due to the in-memory session map all registration requests must be
handled by the same worker.
ExpiringCache required that `start()` be called before it would actually
start expiring entries. A number of places didn't do that.
This PR removes `start` from ExpiringCache, and automatically starts
backround reaping process on creation instead.
We should explicitly close any db connections we open, because failing to do so
can block other transactions as per
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3682.
Let's also try to factor out some of the boilerplate by having server classes
define their datastore class rather than duplicating the whole of `setup`.
This allows us to handle /context/ requests on the client_reader worker
without having to pull in all the various stream handlers (e.g.
precence, typing, pushers etc). The only thing the token gets used for
is pagination, and that ignores everything but the room portion of the
token.
(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
This fixes a class of 'Unexpected logcontext' messages, which were happening
because the logcontext was somewhat arbitrarily swapping between the sentinel
and the `run` logcontext.
The empty string is a valid setting for the bind_address option, so
explicitly check for None here instead.
