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
By scraping Open Graph information from the HTML even
when an autodiscovery endpoint is found. The results are
then combined to capture as much information as possible
from the page.
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.
* Wrap `auth.get_user_by_req` in an opentracing span
give `get_user_by_req` its own opentracing span, since it can result in a
non-trivial number of sub-spans which it is useful to group together.
This requires a bit of reorganisation because it also sets some tags (and may
force tracing) on the servlet span.
* Emit opentracing span for encoding json responses
This can be a significant time sink.
* Rename all sync spans with a prefix
* Write an opentracing span for encoding sync response
* opentracing span to group generate_room_entries
* opentracing spans within sync.encode_response
* changelog
* Use the `trace` decorator instead of context managers
* 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.

* Splits the logic for parsing HTML from the resource handling code.
* Fix a circular import in the oEmbed code (which uses the HTML parsing code).
* Renames some of the HTML parsing methods to:
* Make it clear which methods are "internal" to the module.
* Clarify what the methods do.
Due to updates to MSC2675 this includes a few fixes:
* Include bundled aggregations for /sync.
* Do not include bundled aggregations for /initialSync and /events.
* Do not bundle aggregations for state events.
* Clarifies comments and variable names.

Client API endpoint. This will also go and fetch from the federation API endpoint if unable to find an event locally or we found an extremity with possibly a closer event we don't know about.
