Improved federation configuration docs.  Specifically detailing  .well-known and SRV based delegation methods. 

Inspiration Valentin Lab <valentin.lab@kalysto.org> for https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/4781

So that it actually works. See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass

* Following suggestions of @richvdh

Factor out the reverse proxy info to a separate file, add some more info on
reverse-proxying the federation port.

Fix incorrect heading level

A surprising number of people are using the well-known method, and are
simply copying the example configuration. This is problematic as the
example includes an explicit port, which causes inbound federation
requests to have the HTTP Host header include the port, upsetting some
reverse proxies.

Given that, we update the well-known example to be more explicit about
the various ways you can set it up, and the consequence of using an
explict port.

Allow for the creation of a support user.

A support user can access the server, join rooms, interact with other users, but does not appear in the user directory nor does it contribute to monthly active user limits.

* Some words about garbage collections and logcontexts

* Do a GC after each test to fix logcontext leaks

This feels like an awful hack, but...

* changelog

People keep asking why their database hasn't gotten smaller after using this API.

So people can still collect consent the old way if they want to.

Presumably this is the intention anyways. I've also updated the domain part to be something more along the lines of what people might expect.
