* Add documentation for caching in a module
* Changelog
* Formatting
* Wrap lines at a length that mdbook is happier with
* Typo fix
Co-authored-by: Erik Johnston <erik@matrix.org>
* Link to recent version of the API
In the longer term I'd like to see us generate markdown with Sphinx.
* Refer to public `cached` decorator
* Mark caching as being added in 1.74
Some of the underlying infrastructure was added in 1.69, but the
public-facing `cached` decorator was only added in 1.74. It is the
latter that I think we should be advertising.
* Update docs/modules/writing_a_module.md

Part of the Tchap Synapse mainlining.
This allows modules to implement extra logic to figure out whether a given 3PID can be added to the local homeserver. In the Tchap use case, this will allow a Synapse module to interface with the custom endpoint /internal_info.
This is in the context of mainlining the Tchap fork of Synapse. Currently in Tchap usernames are derived from the user's email address (extracted from the UIA results, more specifically the m.login.email.identity step).
This change also exports the check_username method from the registration handler as part of the module API, so that a module can check if the username it's trying to generate is correct and doesn't conflict with an existing one, and fallback gracefully if not.

This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
* Split up the documentation in several files rather than one huge one
* Add examples for each callback category
* Other niceties like fixing https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10632
* Add titles to callbacks so they're easier to find in the navigation panels and link to
