Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
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.

Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)
The `expire_access_token` didn't do what it sounded like it should do. What it
actually did was make Synapse enforce the 'time' caveat on macaroons used as
access tokens, but since our access token macaroons never contained such a
caveat, it was always a no-op.
(The code to add 'time' caveats was removed back in v0.18.5, in #1656)
Nothing uses this now, so we can remove the dead code, and clean up the
API.
Since we're changing the shape of the return value anyway, we take the
opportunity to give the method a better name.
Allow for the creation of a support user.
A support user can access the server, join rooms, interact with other users, but does not appear in the user directory nor does it contribute to monthly active user limits.
* Rip out half-implemented m.login.saml2 support
This was implemented in an odd way that left most of the work to the client, in
a way that I really didn't understand. It's going to be a pain to maintain, so
let's start by ripping it out.
* drop undocumented dependency on dateutil
It turns out we were relying on dateutil being pulled in transitively by
pysaml2. There's no need for that bloat.
This was broken when device list updates were implemented, as Mailer
could no longer instantiate an AuthHandler due to a dependency on
federation sending.
The 'time' caveat on the access tokens was something of a lie, since we weren't
enforcing it; more pertinently its presence stops us ever adding useful time
caveats.
Let's move in the right direction by not lying in our caveats.
