When there have been lots of changes compared with the number of
entities, we can do a fast(er) path.
Locally I ran some benchmarking, and the comparison seems to give the
best determination of which method we use.
During the migration the automated script to update the copyright
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.
An empty cache does not mean the entity has no changed, if
it is earlier than the earliest known stream position return that
the entity *has* changed since the cache cannot accurately
answer that query.
The internal methods of the StreamChangeCache were inconsistently
treating the earliest known stream position as valid. It is now treated as
invalid, meaning the cache cannot determine if an entity at the earliest
known stream position has changed or not.
This code was factored out to a method, but also left in-place.
Calling this twice in a row makes no sense: the first call will reduce
the size appropriately, but the loop will immediately exit since the
cache size was already reduced.
The following modules now pass `disallow_untyped_defs`:
* synapse.util.caches.cached_call
* synapse.util.caches.lrucache
* synapse.util.caches.response_cache
* synapse.util.caches.stream_change_cache
* synapse.util.caches.ttlcache pass
* synapse.util.daemonize
* synapse.util.patch_inline_callbacks pass `no-untyped-defs`
* synapse.util.versionstring
Additional typing in synapse.util.metrics. Didn't get this to pass `no-untyped-defs`, think I'll need to watch #10847
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

First some background: StreamChangeCache is used to keep track of what "entities" have
changed since a given stream ID. So for example, we might use it to keep track of when the last
to-device message for a given user was received [1], and hence whether we need to pull any to-device messages from the database on a sync [2].
Now, it turns out that StreamChangeCache didn't support more than one thing being changed at
a given stream_id (this was part of the problem with #7206). However, it's entirely valid to send
to-device messages to more than one user at a time.
As it turns out, this did in fact work, because *some* methods of StreamChangeCache coped
ok with having multiple things changing on the same stream ID, and it seems we never actually
use the methods which don't work on the stream change caches where we allow multiple
changes at the same stream ID. But that feels horribly fragile, hence: let's update
StreamChangeCache to properly support this, and add some typing and some more tests while
we're at it.

Other parts of the code (such as the StreamChangeCache) assume that there will
not be multiple changes with the same stream id.
This code was introduced in #7024, and I hope this fixes#7206.
The get_entities_changed function was changed to return all changed
entities since the given stream position, rather than only those changed
from a given list of entities. This resulted in the function incorrectly
returning large numbers of entities that, for example, caused large
increases in database usage.
The stream cache keeps track of all entities that have changed since
a particular stream position, so get_entities_changed does not need to
return unknown entites when given a larger stream position.
This makes it consistent with the behaviour of has_entity_changed.
This line shows up as about 5% of cpu time on a synchrotron:
not_known_entities = set(entities) - set(self._entity_to_key)
Presumably the problem here is that _entity_to_key can be largeish, and
building a set for its keys every time this function is called is slow.
Here we rewrite the logic to avoid building so many sets.
This reverts commit 9fbe70a7dc.
It turns out that sortedcontainers.SortedDict is not an exact match for
blist.sorteddict; in particular, `popitem()` removes things from the opposite
end of the dict.
This is trivial to fix, but I want to add some unit tests, and potentially some
more thought about it, before we do so.
Occaisonally has_any_entity_changed would throw the error: "Set changed
size during iteration" when taking the max of the `sorteddict`. While
its uncertain how that happens, its quite inefficient to iterate over
the entire dict anyway so we change to using the more traditional
`bisect_*` functions.
... and update some docstrings to correctly reflect the types being used.
get_new_device_msgs_for_remote can return a long under some circumstances,
which was being stored in last_device_list_stream_id_by_dest, and was then
upsetting things on the next loop.
We change it so that each cache has an individual CacheMetric, instead
of having one global CacheMetric. This means that when a cache tries to
increment a counter it does not need to go through so many indirections.
