As discussed at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12179#discussion_r837263852

And update the upgrade notes to point at old versions of the documentation.

Switching to a sequence means there's no need to track `last_txn` on the
AS state table to generate new TXN IDs. This also means that there is
no longer contention between the AS scheduler and AS handler on updates
to the `application_services_state` table, which will prevent serialization
errors during the complete AS txn transaction.

...and various code supporting it.

The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.

And clean-up the endpoints which should be routed to workers.

The presence of this method was confusing, and mostly present for backwards
compatibility. Let's get rid of it.

Part of #11733

Since it is reasonable to give a future or past auth provider,
which might not be in the current configuration.
