this is only used in one place, so it's clearer if we inline it and reduce the
API surface.
Also, fixes a buglet where we would create an access token even if we were
about to block the user (we would never return the AT, so the user could never
use it, but it was still created and added to the db.)
FederationDeniedError is a subclass of SynapseError, which is a subclass of
CodeMessageException, so if e is a FederationDeniedError, then this check for
FederationDeniedError will never be reached since it will be caught by the
check for CodeMessageException above. The check for CodeMessageException does
almost the same thing as this check (since FederationDeniedError initialises
with code=403 and msg="Federation denied with %s."), so may as well just keep
allowing it to handle this case.
Nothing uses this now, so we can remove the dead code, and clean up the
API.
Since we're changing the shape of the return value anyway, we take the
opportunity to give the method a better name.
When a user creates an account and the 'require_auth_for_profile_requests' config flag is set, and a client that performed the registration wants to lookup the newly-created profile, the request will be denied because the user doesn't share a room with themselves yet.
This has never been documented, and I'm not sure it's ever been used outside
sytest.
It's quite a lot of poorly-maintained code, so I'd like to get rid of it.
For now I haven't removed the database table; I suggest we leave that for a
future clearout.

This would cause emails being sent, but Synapse responding with a 429 when creating the event. The client would then retry, and with bad timing the same scenario would happen again. Some testing I did ended up sending me 10 emails for one single invite because of this.
When a client asks for users whose devices have changed since a token we
used to pull *all* users from the database since the token, which could
easily be thousands of rows for old tokens.
This PR changes this to only check for changes for users the client is
actually interested in.
Fixes#5553
Closes#4583
Does slightly less than #5045, which prevented a room from being upgraded multiple times, one after another. This PR still allows that, but just prevents two from happening at the same time.
Mostly just to mitigate the fact that servers are slow and it can take a moment for the room upgrade to actually complete. We don't want people sending another request to upgrade the room when really they just thought the first didn't go through.
