Since #11811 there has been general Complement flakiness around networking.
It seems like tests are hitting the wrong containers. In an effort to diagnose
the cause of this, as well as reduce its impact on this project, set the
parallelsim to 1 (no parallelism) when running tests.
If this fixes the flakiness then this indicates the cause and I can diagnose
this further. If this doesn't fix the flakiness then that implies some kind
of test pollution which also helps to diagnose this further.
* CI: run Complement on the VM, not inside Docker
This requires https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/289
We now run Complement on the VM instead of inside a Docker container.
This is to allow Complement to bind to any high-numbered port when it
starts up its own federation servers. We want to do this to allow for
more concurrency when running complement tests. Previously, Complement
only ever bound to `:8448` when running its own federation server. This
prevented multiple federation tests running at the same time as they would
fight each other on the port. This did however allow Complement to run
in Docker, as the host could just port forward `:8448` to allow homeserver
containers to communicate to Complement. Now that we are using random
ports however, we cannot use Docker to run Complement. This ends up
being a good thing because:
- Running Complement tests locally is closer to how they run in CI.
- Allows the `CI` env var to be removed in Complement.
- Slightly speeds up runs as we don't need to pull down the Complement
image prior to running tests. This assumes GHA caches actions sensibly.

A few things here:
* Build the debs for single distro for each PR, so that we can see if it breaks. Do the same for develop. Building all the debs ties up the GHA workers for ages.
* Stop building the debs for release branches. Again, it takes ages, and I don't think anyone is actually going to stop and look at them. We'll know they are working when we make an RC.
* Change the configs so that if we manually cancel a workflow, it actually does something.
This implements similar behavior to sytest where a matching branch is used,
if one exists. This is useful when needing to modify both application code
and tests at the same time. The following rules are used to find a matching
complement branch:
1. Search for the branch name of the pull request. (E.g. feature/foo.)
2. Search for the base branch of the pull request. (E.g. develop or release-vX.Y.)
3. Search for the reference branch of the commit. (E.g. master or release-vX.Y.)
4. Fallback to 'master', the default complement branch name.
This PR updates the build tags that we perform Complement runs with to match our [buildkite pipeline](618b3e90bc/synapse/pipeline.yml (L570)), as well as adding `msc2403` (as it will be required once #9359 is merged). Build tags are what we use to determine which tests to run in Complement (really it determines which test files are compiled into the final binary).
I haven't put in a comment about updating the buildkite side here, as we've decided to migrate fully to GitHub Actions anyhow.
