The second argument of `ConfigError` is a path, passed as an optional
`Iterable[str]` and not a `str`. If a string is passed directly,
Synapse unhelpfully emits "Error in configuration at
a.p.p._.s.e.r.v.i.c.e._.c.o.n.f.i.g._.f.i.l.e.s'" when the config
option has the wrong data type.

* raise a ConfigError on an invalid app_service_config_files
* changelog
* Move config check to read_config
* Add test
* Ensure list also contains strings
* Update worker docs to remove group endpoints.
* Removes an unused parameter to `ApplicationService`.
* Break dependency between media repo and groups.
* Avoid copying `m.room.related_groups` state events during room upgrades.
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.
This adds a flag loaded from the registration file of an AS that will determine whether or not its users are rate limited (by ratelimit in _base.py). Needed for IRC bridge reasons - see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/240.
If 'url' is not specified, they will not be pushed for events or queries. This
is useful for bots who simply wish to reserve large chunks of user/alias
namespace, and don't care about being pushed for events.

This requires that HS owners either opt in or out of stats reporting.
When --generate-config is passed, --report-stats must be specified
If an already-generated config is used, and doesn't have the
report_stats key, it is requested to be set.
