This is mostly motivated by the tchap use case, where usernames are automatically generated from the user's email address (in a way that allows figuring out the email address from the username). Therefore, it's an issue if we respond to requests on /register and /register/available with M_USER_IN_USE, because it can potentially leak email addresses (which include the user's real name and place of work).
This commit adds a flag to inhibit the M_USER_IN_USE errors that are raised both by /register/available, and when providing a username early into the registration process. This error will still be raised if the user completes the registration process but the username conflicts. This is particularly useful when using modules (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11790 adds a module callback to set the username of users at registration) or SSO, since they can ensure the username is unique.
More context is available in the PR that introduced this behaviour to synapse-dinsic: matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#48 - as well as the issue in the matrix-dinsic repo: matrix-org/matrix-dinsic#476

Always add state.room_id after the configurable ORDER BY. Otherwise,
for any sort, certain pages can contain results from
other pages. (Especially when sorting by creator, since there may
be many rooms by the same creator)
* Document different order direction of numerical fields
"joined_members", "joined_local_members", "version" and "state_events"
are ordered in descending direction by default (dir=f). Added a note
in tests to explain the differences in ordering.

Currently when puppeting another user, the user doing the puppeting is
tracked for client IPs and MAU (if configured).
When tracking MAU is important, it becomes necessary to be possible to
also track the client IPs and MAU of puppeted users. As an example a
client that manages user creation and creation of tokens via the Synapse
admin API, passing those tokens for the client to use.
This PR adds optional configuration to enable tracking of puppeted users
into monthly active users. The default behaviour stays the same.

* Deal with mypy errors w/ type-hinted pynacl 1.5.0
Fixes#11644.
I really don't like that we're monkey patching pynacl SignedKey
instances with alg and version objects. But I'm too scared to make the
changes necessary right now.
(Ideally I would replace `signedjson.types.SingingKey` with a runtime class which
wraps or inherits from `nacl.signing.SigningKey`.) C.f. https://github.com/matrix-org/python-signedjson/issues/16

By returning all of the m.space.child state of the space, not just
the first 50. The number of rooms returned is still capped at 50.
For the federation API this implies that the requesting server will
need to individually query for any other rooms it is not joined to.
* Optionally use an on-disk sqlite db in tests
When debugging a test it is sometimes useful to inspect the state of the
DB. This is not easy when the db is in-memory: one cannot attach the
sqlite CLI to another process's DB.
With this change, if SYNAPSE_TEST_PERSIST_SQLITE_DB is set, we use
`_trial_temp/test.db` as our sqlite database. One can then use
`sqlite3 _trial_temp/test.db` and query to your heart's content.
The DB is destroyed and recreated between different test cases.

This makes the serialization of events synchronous (and it no
longer access the database), but we must manually calculate and
provide the bundled aggregations.
Overall this should cause no change in behavior, but is prep work
for other improvements.
* `_auth_and_persist_outliers`: mark persisted events as outliers
Mark any events that get persisted via `_auth_and_persist_outliers` as, well,
outliers.
Currently this will be a no-op as everything will already be flagged as an
outlier, but I'm going to change that.
* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
This adds some opentracing annotations to ResponseCache, to make it easier to see what's going on; in particular, it adds a link back to the initial trace which is actually doing the work of generating the response.
* Disable aggregation bundling on `/sync` responses
A partial revert of #11478. This turns out to have had a significant CPU impact
on initial-sync handling. For now, let's disable it, until we find a more
efficient way of achieving this.
* Fix tests.
