Currently, we try to pull the event corresponding to a sync token from the database. However, when
we fetch redaction events, we check the target of that redaction (because we aren't allowed to send
redactions to clients without validating them). So, if the sync token points to a redaction of an event
that we don't have, we have a problem.
It turns out we don't really need that event, and can just work with its ID and metadata, which
sidesteps the whole problem.
Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
For users with large accounts it is inefficient to calculate the set of
users they share a room with (and takes a lot of space in the cache).
Instead we can look at users whose devices have changed since the last
sync and check if they share a room with the syncing user.
This is some odds and ends found during the review of #11791
and while continuing to work in this code:
* Return attrs classes instead of dictionaries from some methods
to improve type safety.
* Call `get_bundled_aggregations` fewer times.
* Adds a missing assertion in the tests.
* Do not return empty bundled aggregations for an event (preferring
to not include the bundle at all, as the docstring states).
* Wrap `auth.get_user_by_req` in an opentracing span
give `get_user_by_req` its own opentracing span, since it can result in a
non-trivial number of sub-spans which it is useful to group together.
This requires a bit of reorganisation because it also sets some tags (and may
force tracing) on the servlet span.
* Emit opentracing span for encoding json responses
This can be a significant time sink.
* Rename all sync spans with a prefix
* Write an opentracing span for encoding sync response
* opentracing span to group generate_room_entries
* opentracing spans within sync.encode_response
* changelog
* Use the `trace` decorator instead of context managers
* Move sync_token up to the top
* Pull out _get_ignored_users
* Try to signpost the body of `_generate_sync_entry_for_rooms`
* Pull out _calculate_user_changes

This mainly consists of docstrings and inline comments. There are one or two type annotations and variable renames thrown in while I was here.

Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
We added a bunch of spans in #10704, but this ended up adding a lot of
redundant spans for rooms where nothing changed, so instead we only
start the span if there might be something interesting going on.
