* Remove `on_timeout_cancel` from `timeout_deferred`
The `on_timeout_cancel` param to `timeout_deferred` wasn't always called on a
timeout (in particular if the canceller raised an exception), so it was
unreliable. It was also only used in one place, and to be honest it's easier to
do what it does a different way.
* Fix handling of connection timeouts in outgoing http requests
Turns out that if we get a timeout during connection, then a different
exception is raised, which wasn't always handled correctly.
To fix it, catch the exception in SimpleHttpClient and turn it into a
RequestTimedOutError (which is already a documented exception).
Also add a description to RequestTimedOutError so that we can see which stage
it failed at.
* Fix incorrect handling of timeouts reading federation responses
This was trapping the wrong sort of TimeoutError, so was never being hit.
The effect was relatively minor, but we should fix this so that it does the
expected thing.
* Fix inconsistent handling of `timeout` param between methods
`get_json`, `put_json` and `delete_json` were applying a different timeout to
the response body to `post_json`; bring them in line and test.

slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.

Merge tag 'v1.20.0rc3' into develop
Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8291))
By importing from canonicaljson the simplejson module was still being used
in some situations. After this change the std lib json is consistenty used
throughout Synapse.
This has long been something I've wanted to do. Basically the `Daemonize` code
is both too flexible and not flexible enough, in that it offers a bunch of
features that we don't use (changing UID, closing FDs in the child, logging to
syslog) and doesn't offer a bunch that we could do with (redirecting stdout/err
to a file instead of /dev/null; having the parent not exit until the child is
running).
As a first step, I've lifted the Daemonize code and removed the bits we don't
use. This should be a non-functional change. Fixing everything else will come
later.
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
