This PR:
* Converts UPGRADE.rst to markdown and moves the contents into the `docs/` directory.
* Updates the contents of UPGRADE.rst to point to the website instead.
* Updates links around the codebase that point to UPGRADE.rst.
`pandoc` + some manual editing was used to convert from RST to md.
* rename major/minor into the right semver terminology minor/patch (since this was something that got me very confused the first couple of times I've used the script)
* name the release branch based on the new version, not the previous one
Required some fixes due to merge conflicts with #6739, but nothing too hairy. The first commit is the same as the original (after merge conflict resolution) then two more for compatibility with the latest sync code.
If a room is remote and we don't have a user in it, always try to join it. It might fail if the room is invite-only, but we don't have a user to invite with, so at this point it's the best we can do.
Fixes#10233 (at least to some extent)
* Drop Origin & Accept from Access-Control-Allow-Headers value
This change drops the Origin and Accept header names from the value of the
Access-Control-Allow-Headers response header sent by Synapse. Per the CORS
protocol, it’s not necessary or useful to include those header names.
Details:
Per-spec at https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-header-name, Origin
is a “forbidden header name” set by the browser and that frontend
JavaScript code is never allowed to set.
So the value of Access-Control-Allow-Headers isn’t relevant to Origin or
in general to other headers set by the browser itself — the browser
never ever consults the Access-Control-Allow-Headers value to confirm
that it’s OK for the request to include an Origin header.
And per-spec at https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#cors-safelisted-request-header,
Accept is a “CORS-safelisted request-header”, which means that browsers
allow requests to contain the Accept header regardless of whether the
Access-Control-Allow-Headers value contains "Accept".
So it’s unnecessary for the Access-Control-Allow-Headers to explicitly
include Accept. Browsers will not perform a CORS preflight for requests
containing an Accept request header.

We were repeatedly looking up a config option in a loop (using the
unclassed config style), which is expensive enough that it can cause
large CPU usage.
An accidental mis-ordering of operations during #6739 technically allowed an incoming knock event over federation in before checking it against any configured Third Party Access Rules modules.
This PR corrects that by performing the TPAR check *before* persisting the event.
This PR will run a new "Deploy release-specific documentation" job whenever a push to a branch name matching `release-v*` occurs. Doing so will create/add to a folder named `vX.Y` on the `gh-pages` branch. Doing so will allow us to build up `major.minor` releases of the docs as we release Synapse.
This is especially useful for having a mechanism for keeping around documentation of old/removed features (for those running older versions of Synapse), without needing to clutter the latest copy of the docs.
After a [discussion](https://matrix.to/#/!XaqDhxuTIlvldquJaV:matrix.org/$rKmkBmQle8OwTlGcoyu0BkcWXdnHW3_oap8BMgclwIY?via=matrix.org&via=vector.modular.im&via=envs.net) in #synapse-dev, we wanted to use tags to trigger the documentation deployments, which I agreed with. However, I soon realised that the bash-foo required to turn a tag of `v1.2.3rc1` into `1.2` was a lot more complex than the branch's `release-v1.2`. So, I've gone with the latter for simplicity.
In the future we'll have some UI on the website to switch between versions, but for now you can simply just change 'develop' to 'v1.2' in the URL.
This could cause a minor data leak if someone defined a non-restricted join rule
with an allow key or used a restricted join rule in an older room version, but this is
unlikely.
Additionally this starts adding unit tests to the spaces summary handler.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10030.
We were expecting milliseconds where we should have provided a value in seconds.
The impact of this bug isn't too bad. The code is intended to count the number of remote servers that the homeserver can see and report that as a metric. This metric is supposed to run initially 1 second after server startup, and every 60s as well. Instead, it ran 1,000 seconds after server startup, and every 60s after startup.
This fix allows for the correct metrics to be collected immediately, as well as preventing a random collection 1,000s in the future after startup.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.
This doc is short but a useful guide to what the request log lines mean.

* Trace event persistence
When we persist a batch of events, set the parent opentracing span to the that
from the request, so that we can trace all the way in.
* changelog
* When we force tracing, set a baggage item
... so that we can check again later.
* Link in both directions between persist_events spans
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
Add 'federation_ip_range_whitelist'. This allows backwards-compatibility, If 'federation_ip_range_blacklist' is set. Otherwise 'ip_range_whitelist' will be used for federation servers.

This is the first of two PRs which seek to address #8518. This first PR lays the groundwork by extending ResponseCache; a second PR (#10158) will update the SyncHandler to actually use it, and fix the bug.
The idea here is that we allow the callback given to ResponseCache.wrap to decide whether its result should be cached or not. We do that by (optionally) passing a ResponseCacheContext into it, which it can modify.

- Fix a bug when using federation sender worker where it would send out more presence updates than necessary, leading to high resource usage. Broke in v1.33.0. ([\#10163](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10163))
- Fix a bug where Synapse could send the same presence update to a remote twice. ([\#10165](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10165))

Merge tag 'v1.36.0rc2' into develop

This is essentially an implementation of the proposal made at https://hackmd.io/@richvdh/BJYXQMQHO, though the details have ended up looking slightly different.
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.
Spawned from missing messages we were seeing on `matrix.org` from a
federated Gtiter bridged room, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2770.
The underlying issue in Synapse is tracked by https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10066
where the message and join event race and the message is `soft_failed` before the
`join` event reaches the remote federated server.
Less soft_failed events = better and usually this should only trigger for events
where people are doing bad things and trying to fuzz and fake everything.
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.
With the prior format, 1.33.0 / 1.33.1 / 1.33.2 got separate branches:
release-v1.33.0
release-v1.33.1
release-v1.33.2
Under the new model, all three would share a common branch:
release-v1.33
As before, RCs and actual releases exist as tags on these branches.
This better reflects our support model, e.g., that the "1.33" series had
a formal release followed by two patches / updates.

Fixes#1834.
`get_new_events_for_appservice` internally calls `get_events_as_list`, which will filter out any rejected events. If all returned events are filtered out, `_notify_interested_services` will return without updating the last handled stream position. If there are 100 consecutive such events, processing will halt altogether.
Breaking the loop is now done by checking whether we're up-to-date with `current_max` in the loop condition, instead of relying on an empty `events` list.

If backfilling is slow then the client may time out and retry, causing
Synapse to start a new `/backfill` before the existing backfill has
finished, duplicating work.
This adds quite a lot of OpenTracing decoration for database activity. Specifically it adds tracing at four different levels:
* emit a span for each "interaction" - ie, the top level database function that we tend to call "transaction", but isn't really, because it can end up as multiple transactions.
* emit a span while we hold a database connection open
* emit a span for each database transaction - actual actual transaction.
* emit a span for each database query.
I'm aware this might be quite a lot of overhead, but even just running it on a local Synapse it looks really interesting, and I hope the overhead can be offset just by turning down the sampling frequency and finding other ways of tracing requests of interest (eg, the `force_tracing_for_users` setting).
The existing tracing reports an error each time there is a timeout, which isn't
really representative.
Additionally, we log things about the way `wait_for_events` works
(eg, the result of the callback) to the *parent* span, which is confusing.
So that they render nicely in mdbook (see #10086), and so that we no longer have a mix of structured text languages in our documentation (excluding files outside of `docs/`).
Empirically, this helped my server considerably when handling gaps in Matrix HQ. The problem was that we would repeatedly call have_seen_events for the same set of (50K or so) auth_events, each of which would take many minutes to complete, even though it's only an index scan.
