Currently background proccesses stream the events stream use the "minimum persisted position" (i.e. `get_current_token()`) rather than the vector clock style tokens. This is broadly fine as it doesn't matter if the background processes lag a small amount. However, in extreme cases (i.e. SyTests) where we only write to one event persister the background processes will never make progress.
This PR changes it so that the `MultiWriterIDGenerator` keeps the current position of a given instance as up to date as possible (i.e using the latest token it sees if its not in the process of persisting anything), and then periodically announces that over replication. This then allows the "minimum persisted position" to advance, albeit with a small lag.
This PR allows Synapse modules making use of the `ModuleApi` to create and send non-membership events into a room. This can useful to have modules send messages, or change power levels in a room etc. Note that they must send event through a user that's already in the room.
The non-membership event limitation is currently arbitrary, as it's another chunk of work and not necessary at the moment.

We call `_update_stream_positions_table_txn` a lot, which is an UPSERT
that can conflict in `REPEATABLE READ` isolation level. Instead of doing
a transaction consisting of a single query we may as well run it outside
of a transaction.

Currently when using multiple event persisters we (in the worst case) don't tell clients about events until all event persisters have persisted new events after the original event. This is a suboptimal, especially if one of the event persisters goes down.
To handle this, we encode the position of each event persister in the room tokens so that we can send events to clients immediately. To reduce the size of the token we do two things:
1. We create a unique immutable persistent mapping between instance names and a generated small integer ID, which we can encode in the tokens instead of the instance name; and
2. We encode the "persisted upto position" of the room token and then only explicitly include instances that have positions strictly greater than that.
The new tokens look something like: `m3478~1.3488~2.3489`, where the first number is the min position, and the subsequent `-` separated pairs are the instance ID to positions map. (We use `.` and `~` as separators as they're URL safe and not already used by `StreamToken`).
Lots of different module apis is not easy to maintain.
Rather than adding yet another ModuleApi(hs, hs.get_auth_handler()) incantation, first add an hs.get_module_api() method and use it where possible.
* Optimise and test state fetching for 3p event rules
Getting all the events at once is much more efficient than getting them
individually
* Test that 3p event rules can modify events
PR #8292 tried to maintain backwards compat with modules which don't provide a
`check_visibility_can_be_modified` method, but the tests weren't being run,
and the check didn't work.
This PR allows `ThirdPartyEventRules` modules to view, manipulate and block changes to the state of whether a room is published in the public rooms directory.
While the idea of whether a room is in the public rooms list is not kept within an event in the room, `ThirdPartyEventRules` generally deal with controlling which modifications can happen to a room. Public rooms fits within that idea, even if its toggle state isn't controlled through a state event.
There's no need for it to be in the dict as well as the events table. Instead,
we store it in a separate attribute in the EventInternalMetadata object, and
populate that on load.
This means that we can rely on it being correctly populated for any event which
has been persited to the database.
This is so we can tell what is going on when things are taking a while to start up.
The main change here is to ensure that transactions that are created during startup get correctly logged like normal transactions.
#7124 changed the behaviour of remote thumbnails so that the thumbnailing method was included in the filename of the thumbnail. To support existing files, it included a fallback so that we would check the old filename if the new filename didn't exist.
Unfortunately, it didn't apply this logic to storage providers, so any thumbnails stored on such a storage provider was broken.
For negative streams we have to negate the internal stream ID before
querying the DB.
The effect of this bug was to query far too many rows, slowing start up
time, but we would correctly filter the results afterwards so there was
no ill effect.
This converts a few more of our inline HTML templates to Jinja. This is somewhat part of #7280 and should make it a bit easier to customize these in the future.
The idea is that in future tokens will encode a mapping of instance to position. However, we don't want to include the full instance name in the string representation, so instead we'll have a mapping between instance name and an immutable integer ID in the DB that we can use instead. We'll then do the lookup when we serialize/deserialize the token (we could alternatively pass around an `Instance` type that includes both the name and ID, but that turns out to be a lot more invasive).
This was a bit unweildy for what I wanted: in particular, I wanted to assign
each measurement straight into a bucket, rather than storing an intermediate
Counter which didn't do any bucketing at all.
I've replaced it with something that is hopefully a bit easier to use.
(I'm not entirely sure what the difference between a HistogramMetricFamily and
a GaugeHistogramMetricFamily is, but given our counters can go down as well as
up the latter *sounds* more accurate?)
Our hacked-up `_exposition.py` was stripping out some samples it shouldn't
have been. Put them back in, to more closely match the upstream
`exposition.py`.
* Don't check whether a 3pid is allowed to register during password reset
This endpoint should only deal with emails that have already been approved, and

* Fix table scan of events on worker startup.
This happened because we assumed "new" writers had an initial stream
position of 0, so the replication code tried to fetch all events written
by the instance between 0 and the current position.
Instead, set the initial position of new writers to the current
persisted up to position, on the assumption that new writers won't have
written anything before that point.
* Consider old writers coming back as "new".
Otherwise we'd try and fetch entries between the old stale token and the
current position, even though it won't have written any rows.

Broken in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8275 and has yet to be put in a release. Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8418.
`next_link` is an optional parameter. However, we were checking whether the `next_link` param was valid, even if it wasn't provided. In that case, `next_link` was `None`, which would clearly not be a valid URL.
This would prevent password reset and other operations if `next_link` was not provided, and the `next_link_domain_whitelist` config option was set.
* 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.

* Fix test_verify_json_objects_for_server_awaits_previous_requests
It turns out that this wasn't really testing what it thought it was testing
(in particular, `check_context` was turning failures into success, which was
making the tests pass even though it wasn't clear they should have been.
It was also somewhat overcomplex - we can test what it was trying to test
without mocking out perspectives servers.
* Fix warnings about finished logcontexts in the keyring
We need to make sure that we finish the key fetching magic before we run the
verifying code, to ensure that we don't mess up our logcontexts.

This adds configuration flags that will match a user to pre-existing users
when logging in via OpenID Connect. This is useful when switching to
an existing SSO system.
On startup `MultiWriteIdGenerator` fetches the maximum stream ID for
each instance from the table and uses that as its initial "current
position" for each writer. This is problematic as a) it involves either
a scan of events table or an index (neither of which is ideal), and b)
if rows are being persisted out of order elsewhere while the process
restarts then using the maximum stream ID is not correct. This could
theoretically lead to race conditions where e.g. events that are
persisted out of order are not sent down sync streams.
We fix this by creating a new table that tracks the current positions of
each writer to the stream, and update it each time we finish persisting
a new entry. This is a relatively small overhead when persisting events.
However for the cache invalidation stream this is a much bigger relative
overhead, so instead we note that for invalidation we don't actually
care about reliability over restarts (as there's no caches to
invalidate) and simply don't bother reading and writing to the new table
in that particular case.
#8037 changed the default `autoescape` option when rendering Jinja2 templates from `False` to `True`. This caused some bugs, noticeably around redirect URLs being escaped in SAML2 auth confirmation templates, causing those URLs to break for users.
This change returns the previous behaviour as it stood. We may want to look at each template individually and see whether autoescaping is a good idea at some point, but for now lets just fix the breakage.
The idea is to remove some of the places we pass around `int`, where it can represent one of two things:
1. the position of an event in the stream; or
2. a token that partitions the stream, used as part of the stream tokens.
The valid operations are then:
1. did a position happen before or after a token;
2. get all events that happened before or after a token; and
3. get all events between two tokens.
(Note that we don't want to allow other operations as we want to change the tokens to be vector clocks rather than simple ints)
