SECURITY UPDATE: Prevent unauthorised users from setting state events in a room
when there is no `m.room.power_levels` event in force in the room. (PR #3397)

Discussion around the Matrix Spec change proposal for this change can be
followed at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1304.

Adjust event auth rules when there is no PL event

We need power levels for this test to do what it is supposed to do.

Make it so that, before there is a power-levels event in the room, you need a
power level of at least 50 to send state.

Partially addresses https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1192

stop pretending that it returns a boolean, which just almost gave me a heart
attack.

it makes it easier for me to reason about

Changes in synapse v0.31.1 (2018-06-08)
=======================================

v0.31.1 fixes a security bug in the ``get_missing_events`` federation API

federation: fix LaterGauge usage

Fixes a startup crash due to commit df9f72d9
"replacing portions".

Add private IPv6 addresses to example config for url preview blacklist

daily user type phone home stats

Ignore depth when updating read-receipts

Order read receipts by stream ordering instead of depth

The added addresses are expected to be local or loopback addresses and
shouldn't be spidered for previews.
