The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.

This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:

- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.

I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.

This table has been unused since Synapse v1.17.0.

Tests were broken due to an API changing. The code used in Synapse
proper should be compatible with both versions already.

This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.

This had two effects 1) it'd give the wrong answer and b) would iterate
*all* power levels in the auth chain of each event. The latter of which
can be *very* expensive for certain types of IRC bridge rooms that have
large numbers of power level changes.

The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).

The static resources for the username picker itself (in 
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res. 
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up. 

Fixes #8876.

If we see stale extremities while persisting events, and notice that
they don't change the result of state resolution, we drop them.

* Use the simple dictionary in fts for the user directory

* Clarify naming

Fixes a bug that deactivated users appear in the directory when their profile information was updated.

To change profile information of deactivated users is neccesary for example you will remove displayname or avatar.
But they should not appear in directory. They are deactivated.

This is another part of my work towards fixing #8876. It moves some of the logic currently in the SAML and OIDC handlers - in particular the call to `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login` down into the `SsoHandler`.

This improves type hinting and should use less memory.

... so that we can test its behaviour when it raises.

Also pull it out to the top level so that I can use it from other test classes.

The tests that need this all do it already.

despite the warnings saying "don't implement get_extra_attributes", we had
implemented it, so the tests weren't doing what we thought they were.

This was never used, so let's get rid of it.

this didn't seem to be doing a lot, so remove it.

The two are equivalent, but really we want to check the HTTP result that got
returned to the channel, not the code that the Request object *intended* to
return to the channel.

* move simple_async_mock to test_utils

... so that it can be re-used

* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests

This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.

* changelog

* Remove references to handler._auth_handler

(and replace them with hs.get_auth_handler)

* Factor out a utility function for building Requests

* Remove mocks of `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user`

This method is going away, so mocking it out is no longer a valid approach.

Instead, we mock out lower-level methods (eg _remote_id_from_userinfo), or
simply allow the regular implementation to proceed and update the expectations
accordingly.

* Remove references to `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user` from tests

This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead
we build mock "callback" requests which we pass into `handle_oidc_callback`,
and verify correct behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.

Spam checker modules can now provide async methods. This is implemented
in a backwards-compatible manner.

Fixes #8866

This defaults `ip_range_blacklist` to reserved IP ranges and also adds an
`ip_range_whitelist` setting to override it.

* Consistently use room_id from federation request body

Some federation APIs have a redundant `room_id` path param (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2330). We should make sure we
consistently use either the path param or the body param, and the body param is
easier.

* Kill off some references to "context"

Once upon a time, "rooms" were known as "contexts". I think this kills of the
last references to "contexts".
