Template config files
* Imagine a system composed entirely of x, y, z etc and the basic operations..
Wait George, why XOR? Why not just neq?
George: Eh, I didn't think of that..

Adds new config option `cleanup_extremities_with_dummy_events` which
periodically sends dummy events to rooms with more than 10 extremities.
THIS IS REALLY EXPERIMENTAL.
Replaces DEFAULT_ROOM_VERSION constant with a method that first checks the config, then returns a hardcoded value if the option is not present.
That hardcoded value is now located in the server.py config file.
This commit adds two config options:
* `restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users`
Requires auth to fetch the public rooms directory through the CS API and disables fetching it through the federation API.
* `require_auth_for_profile_requests`
When set to `true`, requires that requests to `/profile` over the CS API are authenticated, and only returns the user's profile if the requester shares a room with the profile's owner, as per MSC1301.
MSC1301 also specifies a behaviour for federation (only returning the profile if the server asking for it shares a room with the profile's owner), but that's currently really non-trivial to do in a not too expensive way. Next step is writing down a MSC that allows a HS to specify which user sent the profile query. In this implementation, Synapse won't send a profile query over federation if it doesn't believe it already shares a room with the profile's owner, though.
Groups have been intentionally omitted from this commit.
Make it so that most options in the config are optional, and commented out in
the generated config.
The reasons this is a good thing are as follows:
* If we decide that we should change the default for an option, we can do so,
and only those admins that have deliberately chosen to override that option
will be stuck on the old setting.
* It moves us towards a point where we can get rid of the super-surprising
feature of synapse where the default settings for the config come from the
generated yaml.
* It makes setting up a test config for unit testing an order of magnitude
easier (see forthcoming PR).
* It makes the generated config more consistent, and hopefully easier for users
to understand.
The general idea here is that config examples should just have a hash and no
extraneous whitespace, both to make it easier for people who don't understand
yaml, and to make the examples stand out from the comments.
Rearrange the comments to try to clarify them, and expand on what some of it
means.
Use a sensible default 'bind_addresses' setting.
For the insecure port, only bind to localhost, and enable x_forwarded, since
apparently it's for use behind a load-balancer.
This is leading to problems with people upgrading to clients that
support MSC1730 because people have this misconfigured, so try
to make the docs completely unambiguous.
This allows the OpenID userinfo endpoint to be active even if the
federation resource is not active. The OpenID userinfo endpoint
is called by integration managers to verify user actions using the
client API OpenID access token. Without this verification, the
integration manager cannot know that the access token is valid.
The OpenID userinfo endpoint will be loaded in the case that either
"federation" or "openid" resource is defined. The new "openid"
resource is defaulted to active in default configuration.

We need to do a bit more validation when we get a server name, but don't want
to be re-doing it all over the shop, so factor out a separate
parse_and_validate_server_name, and do the extra validation.
Also, use it to verify the server name in the config file.
Add federation_domain_whitelist
gives a way to restrict which domains your HS is allowed to federate with.
useful mainly for gracefully preventing a private but internet-connected HS from trying to federate to the wider public Matrix network
Binding on 0.0.0.0 when :: is specified in the bind_addresses is now allowed.
This causes a warning explaining the behaviour.
Configuration changed to match.

Most deployments are on Linux (or Mac OS), so this would actually bind
on both IPv4 and IPv6.
Resolves#1886.

Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get and sync
operations. The default value is -1, means no upper limit.
For example, using `filter_timeline_limit: 5000`:
POST /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 1000000000000000000
}
}
}
GET /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter/filter:id
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 5000
}
}
}
The server cuts down the room.timeline.limit.
The existing content can still be downloaded. The last upload to the
matrix.org server was in January 2015, so it is probably safe to remove
the upload API.
