(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
This closes#2602
v1auth was created to account for the differences in status code between
the v1 and v2_alpha revisions of the protocol (401 vs 403 for invalid
tokens). However since those protocols were merged, this makes the r0
version/endpoint internally inconsistent, and violates the
specification for the r0 endpoint.
This might break clients that rely on this inconsistency with the
specification. This is said to affect the legacy angular reference
client. However, I feel that restoring parity with the spec is more
important. Either way, it is critical to inform developers about this
change, in case they rely on the illegal behaviour.

While I was going through uses of preserve_fn for other PRs, I converted places
which only use the wrapped function once to use run_in_background, to avoid
creating the function object.
There were a bunch of places where we fire off a process to happen in the
background, but don't have any exception handling on it - instead relying on
the unhandled error being logged when the relevent deferred gets
garbage-collected.
This is unsatisfactory for a number of reasons:
- logging on garbage collection is best-effort and may happen some time after
the error, if at all
- it can be hard to figure out where the error actually happened.
- it is logged as a scary CRITICAL error which (a) I always forget to grep for
and (b) it's not really CRITICAL if a background process we don't care about
fails.
So this is an attempt to add exception handling to everything we fire off into
the background.
The old style raise is invalid syntax in python3. As noted in the docs,
this adds one more frame in the traceback, but I think this is
acceptable:
<ipython-input-7-bcc5cba3de3f> in <module>()
16 except:
17 pass
---> 18 six.reraise(*x)
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/six.py in reraise(tp, value, tb)
691 if value.__traceback__ is not tb:
692 raise value.with_traceback(tb)
--> 693 raise value
694 finally:
695 value = None
<ipython-input-7-bcc5cba3de3f> in <module>()
9
10 try:
---> 11 x()
12 except:
13 x = sys.exc_info()
Also note that this uses six, which is not formally a dependency yet,
but is included indirectly since most packages depend on it.

The API is now under
/groups/$group_id/setting/m.join_policy
and expects a JSON blob of the shape
```json
{
"m.join_policy": {
"type": "invite"
}
}
```
where "invite" could alternatively be "open".
Currently the handling of auto_join_rooms only works when a user
registers itself via public register api. Registrations via
registration_shared_secret and ModuleApi do not work
This auto_joins the users in the registration handler which enables
the auto join feature for all 3 registration paths.
This is related to issue #2725
