While https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635 stops us from doing the slow thing after we've already done it once, this PR stops us from doing one of the slow things in the first place.

Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356
Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13815 which tracks event signature failures.
With this PR, we avoid the call to the costly `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` because the signature failure will count as an attempt before and we filter events based on the backoff before calling `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` now.
For example, this will save us 156s out of the 185s total that this `matrix.org` `/messages` request. If you want to see the full Jaeger trace of this, you can drag and drop this `trace.json` into your own Jaeger, https://gist.github.com/MadLittleMods/4b12d0d0afe88c2f65ffcc907306b761
To explain this exact scenario around `/messages` -> backfill, we call `/backfill` and first check the signatures of the 100 events. We see bad signature for `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` and `$zuOn2Rd2vsC7SUia3Hp3r6JSkSFKcc5j3QTTqW_0jDw` (both member events). Then we process the 98 events remaining that have valid signatures but one of the events references `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` as a `prev_event`. So we have to do the whole `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` rigmarole which pulls in those same events which fail again because the signatures are still invalid.
- `backfill`
- `outgoing-federation-request` `/backfill`
- `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`
- `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one` for each event received over backfill
- ❗ `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` fails with `Signature on retrieved event was invalid.`: `unable to verify signature for sender domain xxx: 401: Failed to find any key to satisfy: _FetchKeyRequest(...)`
- ❗ `$zuOn2Rd2vsC7SUia3Hp3r6JSkSFKcc5j3QTTqW_0jDw` fails with `Signature on retrieved event was invalid.`: `unable to verify signature for sender domain xxx: 401: Failed to find any key to satisfy: _FetchKeyRequest(...)`

- ❗ `get_pdu` for `$zuOn2Rd2vsC7SUia3Hp3r6JSkSFKcc5j3QTTqW_0jDw` which fails the signature check
The callers either set a default limit or manually handle a None-limit
later on (by setting a default value).
Update the callers to always instantiate PaginationConfig with a default
limit and then assume the limit is non-None.
Implement the /threads endpoint from MSC3856.
This is currently unstable and behind an experimental configuration
flag.
It includes a background update to backfill data, results from
the /threads endpoint will be partial until that finishes.
By getting the joined rooms before the current token we avoid any reading
history to confirm a user *was* in a room. We can then use any membership
change events, which we already fetch during sync, to determine the final
list of joined room IDs.
When retrieving counts of notifications segment the results based on the
thread ID, but choose whether to return them as individual threads or as
a single summed field by letting the client opt-in via a sync flag.
The summarization code is also updated to be per thread, instead of per
room.
Keep the old behavior (of including the original_event field) for any
requests to the /unstable version of the endpoint, but do not include
the field when the /v1 version is used.
This should avoid new clients from depending on this field, but will
not help with current dependencies.
MSC3316 declares that both /rooms/{roomId}/send and /rooms/{roomId}/state
should accept a ts parameter for appservices. This change expands support
to /state and adds tests.
Spawned while working on [`get_users_in_room` mis-uses](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13958#discussion_r984074897) and thinking we could use `get_local_users_in_room` here but we can't.
From first glance, it seemed like this was only using local users from all of the `is_mine_id(user_id)` checks but I see that it does actually use remote users. Just making things a little more clear here what it does and mentions remote users so maybe that will be more obvious in the future.
Fixes#13942. Introduced in #13575.
Basically, let's only get the ordered set of hosts out of the DB if we need an ordered set of hosts. Since we split the function up the caching won't be as good, but I think it will still be fine as e.g. multiple backfill requests for the same room will hit the cache.
There is no need to grab thousands of backfill points when we only need 5 to make the `/backfill` request with. We need to grab a few extra in case the first few aren't visible in the history.
Previously, we grabbed thousands of backfill points from the database, then sorted and filtered them in the app. Fetching the 4.6k backfill points for `#matrix:matrix.org` from the database takes ~50ms - ~570ms so it's not like this saves a lot of time 🤷. But it might save us more time now that `get_backfill_points_in_room`/`get_insertion_event_backward_extremities_in_room` are more complicated after https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635
This PR moves the filtering and limiting to the SQL query so we just have less data to work with in the first place.

c.f. #12993 (comment), point 3
This stores all device list updates that we receive while partial joins are ongoing, and processes them once we have the full state.
Note: We don't actually process the device lists in the same ways as if we weren't partially joined. Instead of updating the device list remote cache, we simply notify local users that a change in the remote user's devices has happened. I think this is safe as if the local user requests the keys for the remote user and we don't have them we'll simply fetch them as normal.
This PR begins work on batching up events during the creation of a room. The PR splits out the creation and sending/persisting of the events. The first three events in the creation of the room-creating the room, joining the creator to the room, and the power levels event are sent sequentially, while the subsequent events are created and collected to be sent at the end of the function. This is currently done by appending them to a list and then iterating over the list to send, the next step (after this PR) would be to send and persist the collected events as a batch.
Since #11482, we're saving sessions IDs from upstream IdPs, but we've been losing them when the user goes through a user mapping session on account registration.
During a `lazy_load_members` `/sync`, we look through auth events in
rooms with partial state to find prior membership events. When such a
membership is not found, an error is logged.
Since the first join event for a user never has a prior membership event
to cite, the error would always be logged when one appeared in the room
timeline.
Avoid logging errors for such events.
Introduced in #13477.

Use the provided list of servers in the room from the `/send_join`
response, since we will not know which users are in the room. This
isn't sufficient to ensure that all remote servers receive the right
device list updates, since the `/send_join` response may be inaccurate
or we may calculate the membership state of new users in the room
incorrectly.

When a remote user leaves the last room shared with the homeserver, we
have to mark their device list as unsubscribed, otherwise we would hold
on to a stale device list in our cache. Crucially, the device list would
remain cached even after the remote user rejoined the room, which could
lead to E2EE failures until the next change to the remote user's device
list.

This is a re-do of 57d334a13d (#13365),
which was backed out in 12abd72497 (#13501).
The `room_id` field represented the parent space for each room
and was made redundant by changes in the API shape where the
`children_state` is now nested underneath each `room`.
The room ID of each child is in the `state_key` field and is still
available.
Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)).
There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room:
1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state`
- Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill`
- This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳
1. `get_current_hosts_in_room`
- Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators
1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events`
- Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop`

Mentioned in [internal doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lvUoVfYUiy6UaHB6Rb4HicjaJAU40-APue9Q4vzuW3c/edit#bookmark=id.2tvwz3yhcafh)
### Query performance
#### Before
The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s):
```
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036)
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243)
```
But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$'))
FROM current_state_events
WHERE
type = 'm.room.member'
AND membership = 'join'
AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
4130
(1 row)
Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182)
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
80814
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events;
count
---------
8162847
synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') );
pg_size_pretty
----------------
4702 MB
```
#### After
I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart.
After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
Timing is on.
synapse=# SELECT
substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host
FROM current_state_events c
/* Get the depth of the event from the events table */
INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id)
WHERE
c.type = 'm.room.member'
AND c.membership = 'join'
AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'
GROUP BY host
ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC;
Time: 333.800 ms
```
#### Going further
To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up.
Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan:
- https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Loose_indexscan
- Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/
- https://www.timescale.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-up-to-8000x-faster-on-postgresql/
Use dedicated `get_local_users_in_room` to find local users when calculating `join_authorised_via_users_server` ("the authorising user for joining a restricted room") of a `/make_join` request.

Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
Use a state filter or accept partial state in a few places where we
request state, to avoid blocking.
To make lazy-loading `/sync`s work, we need to provide the memberships
of event senders, which are not guaranteed to be in the room state.
Instead we dig through auth events for memberships to present to
clients. The auth events of an event are guaranteed to contain a
passable membership event, otherwise the event would have been rejected.
Note that this only covers the common code paths encountered during
testing. There has been no exhaustive checking of all sync code paths.

See #10826 and #10786 for context as to why we had to disable pruning on
those caches.
Now that `get_users_who_share_room_with_user` is called frequently only
for presence, we just need to make calls to it less frequent and then we
can remove the various levels of caching that is going on.
When a room has the partial state flag, we may not have an accurate
`m.room.member` event for event senders in the room's current state, and
so cannot perform soft fail checks correctly. Skip the soft fail check
entirely in this case.
As an alternative, we could block until we have full state, but that
would prevent us from receiving incoming events over federation, which
is undesirable.

* Replace `get_new_events_for_appservice` with `get_all_new_events_stream`
The functions were near identical and this brings the AS worker closer
to the way federation senders work which can allow for multiple workers
to handle AS traffic.
* Pull received TS alongside events when processing the stream
This avoids an extra query -per event- when both federation sender
and appservice pusher process events.
There is a corner in `_check_event_auth` (long known as "the weird corner") where, if we get an event with auth_events which don't match those we were expecting, we attempt to resolve the diffence between our state and the remote's with a state resolution.
This isn't specced, and there's general agreement we shouldn't be doing it.
However, it turns out that the faster-joins code was relying on it, so we need to introduce something similar (but rather simpler) for that.

This happens when you have some messages imported before the room is created.
Then use MSC3030 to look backwards before the room creation from a remote
federated server. The server won't find anything locally, but will ask over
federation which will have the remote event. The previous logic would
choke on not having the local event assigned.

Whenever we want to persist an event, we first compute an event context,
which includes the state at the event and a flag indicating whether the
state is partial. After a lot of processing, we finally try to store the
event in the database, which can fail for partial state events when the
containing room has been un-partial stated in the meantime.
We detect the race as a foreign key constraint failure in the data store
layer and turn it into a special `PartialStateConflictError` exception,
which makes its way up to the method in which we computed the event
context.
To make things difficult, the exception needs to cross a replication
request: `/fed_send_events` for events coming over federation and
`/send_event` for events from clients. We transport the
`PartialStateConflictError` as a `409 Conflict` over replication and
turn `409`s back into `PartialStateConflictError`s on the worker making
the request.
All client events go through
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event`, which is called in
*a lot* of places. Instead of trying to update all the code which
creates client events, we turn the `PartialStateConflictError` into a
`429 Too Many Requests` in
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event` and hope that clients
take it as a hint to retry their request.
On the federation event side, there are 7 places which compute event
contexts. 4 of them use outlier event contexts:
`FederationEventHandler._auth_and_persist_outliers_inner`,
`FederationHandler.do_knock`, `FederationHandler.on_invite_request` and
`FederationHandler.do_remotely_reject_invite`. These events won't have
the partial state flag, so we do not need to do anything for then.
The remaining 3 paths which create events are
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`,
`FederationEventHandler.on_send_membership_event` and
`FederationEventHandler._process_received_pdu`.
We can't experience the race in `process_remote_join`, unless we're
handling an additional join into a partial state room, which currently
blocks, so we make no attempt to handle it correctly.
`on_send_membership_event` is only called by
`FederationServer._on_send_membership_event`, so we catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` there and retry just once.
`_process_received_pdu` is called by `on_receive_pdu` for incoming
events and `_process_pulled_event` for backfill. The latter should never
try to persist partial state events, so we ignore it. We catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` in `on_receive_pdu` and retry just once.
Refering to the graph of code paths in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12988#issuecomment-1156857648

* Add auth events to events used in tests
* Move some event auth checks out to a different method
Some of the event auth checks apply to an event's auth_events, rather than the
state at the event - which means they can play no part in state
resolution. Move them out to a separate method.
* Rename check_auth_rules_for_event
Now it only checks the state-dependent auth rules, it needs a better name.
Fixes#11887 hopefully.
The core change here is that `event_push_summary` now holds a summary of counts up until a much more recent point, meaning that the range of rows we need to count in `event_push_actions` is much smaller.
This needs two major changes:
1. When we get a receipt we need to recalculate `event_push_summary` rather than just delete it
2. The logic for deleting `event_push_actions` is now divorced from calculating `event_push_summary`.
In future it would be good to calculate `event_push_summary` while we persist a new event (it should just be a case of adding one to the relevant rows in `event_push_summary`), as that will further simplify the get counts logic and remove the need for us to periodically update `event_push_summary` in a background job.
This simplifies the access token verification logic by removing the `rights`
parameter which was only ever used for the unsubscribe link in email
notifications. The latter has been moved under the `/_synapse` namespace,
since it is not a standard API.
This also makes the email verification link more secure, by embedding the
app_id and pushkey in the macaroon and verifying it. This prevents the user
from tampering the query parameters of that unsubscribe link.
Macaroon generation is refactored:
- Centralised all macaroon generation and verification logic to the
`MacaroonGenerator`
- Moved to `synapse.utils`
