Improve startup checks for insecure notary configs (#5392)
It's not really a problem to trust notary responses signed by the old key so
long as we are also doing TLS validation.

This commit adds a check to the config parsing code at startup to check that
we do not have the insecure matrix.org key without tls validation, and refuses
to start without it.

This allows us to remove the rather alarming-looking warning which happens at
runtime.

#key_refresh_interval: 1d
# The trusted servers to download signing keys from.
#
# When we need to fetch a signing key, each server is tried in parallel.
#
# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which
# will make synapse check that the response is signed by that key.
#
# This setting supercedes an older setting named `perspectives`. The old format
# is still supported for backwards-compatibility, but it is deprecated.
#
# Options for each entry in the list include:
#
# server_name: the name of the server. required.
#
# verify_keys: an optional map from key id to base64-encoded public key.
# If specified, we will check that the response is signed by at least
# one of the given keys.
#
# accept_keys_insecurely: a boolean. Normally, if `verify_keys` is unset,
# and federation_verify_certificates is not `true`, synapse will refuse
# to start, because this would allow anyone who can spoof DNS responses
# to masquerade as the trusted key server. If you know what you are doing
# and are sure that your network environment provides a secure connection
# to the key server, you can set this to `true` to override this
# behaviour.
#
# An example configuration might look like:
#
#trusted_key_servers:
# - server_name: "my_trusted_server.example.com"
# verify_keys:
# "ed25519:auto": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmopqr"
# - server_name: "my_other_trusted_server.example.com"
#
# The default configuration is:
#
#trusted_key_servers:
# - server_name: "matrix.org"
