* Drop support for delegating email validation
Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.
* Update unit test which checks for email verification
Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate
* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`
* Simplify config handling for email verification
Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.
* update docs
* changelog
* upgrade.md: fix typo
* update version number
this will be in 1.64, not 1.63
* update version number
this one too
* Make it possible to enable compression for the metrics HTTP resource
This can provide significant bandwidth savings pulling metrics from
synapse instances.
* Add changelog file.
* Fix type hint
Since the object it returns is a ReplicationCommandHandler.
This is clean-up from adding support to Redis where the command handler
was added as an additional layer of abstraction from the TCP protocol.
* Pull runtime dep checks into their own module
* Reimplement `check_requirements` using `importlib`
I've tried to make this clearer. We start by working out which of
Synapse's requirements we need to be installed here and now. I was
surprised that there wasn't an easier way to see which packages were
installed by a given extra.
I've pulled out the error messages into functions that deal with "is
this for an extra or not". And I've rearranged the loop over two
different sets of requirements into one loop with a "must be instaled"
flag.
I hope you agree that this is clearer.
* Test cases
* Add check to catch syanpse master process starting when workers are configured
* add test to verify that starting master process with worker config raises error
* newsfragment
* specify config.worker.worker_app in check
* update test
* report specific config option that triggered the error

This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
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.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Synapse can be quite memory intensive, and unless care is taken to tune
the GC thresholds it can end up thrashing, causing noticable performance
problems for large servers. We fix this by limiting how often we GC a
given generation, regardless of current counts/thresholds.
This does not help with the reverse problem where the thresholds are set
too high, but that should only happen in situations where they've been
manually configured.
Adds a `gc_min_seconds_between` config option to override the defaults.

Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

* 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.
The idea here is that we will have an instance of OidcProvider for each
configured IdP, with OidcHandler just doing the marshalling of them.
For now it's still hardcoded with a single provider.
The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.
Fixes#8876.
