c.f. #8295 for rationale

Lint dependencies can now be installed with pip install -e ".[lint]"

This should help keep the version in sync between tox and documentation.

Dendrite's implementing MSC2753 over at https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/pull/1370 to prove the implementation for MSC purposes, and so sytest has sprouted tests for it over at https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/pull/944. But we don't want them to run on synapse until synapse implements it.

This reduces duplication of the admin prefix in regular expressions.

Replaced with less buggier control flow

Synapse 1.20.0rc4 (2020-09-16)
==============================

Synapse 1.20.0rc4 is identical to 1.20.0rc3, with the addition of the security fix that was included in 1.19.2.

This fixes #8319.

slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.

This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:

1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.

Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8291))

Some Linux distros have begun disabling TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 by default
for security reasons, for example in Fedora 33 onwards:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/StrongCryptoSettings2



Use TLSv1.2 for the fake TLS servers created in the test suite, to avoid
failures due to OpenSSL disallowing TLSv1.0:

    <twisted.python.failure.Failure OpenSSL.SSL.Error: [('SSL routines',
    'ssl_choose_client_version', 'unsupported protocol')]>

This PR adds a information about forwarding `/_synapse/client` endpoints through your reverse proxy. The first of these endpoints are introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004.

The idea here is that we pass the `max_stream_id` to everything, and only use the stream ID of the particular event to figure out *when* the max stream position has caught up to the event and we can notify people about it.

This is to maintain the distinction between the position of an item in the stream (i.e. event A has stream ID 513) and a token that can be used to partition the stream (i.e. give me all events after stream ID 352). This distinction becomes important when the tokens are more complicated than a single number, which they will be once we start tracking the position of multiple writers in the tokens.

The valid operations here are:

1. Is a position before or after a token
2. Fetching all events between two tokens
3. Merging multiple tokens to get the "max", i.e. `C = max(A, B)` means that for all positions P where P is before A *or* before B, then P is before C.

Future PR will change the token type to a dedicated type.

This PR adds a confirmation step to resetting your user password between clicking the link in your email and your password actually being reset.

This is to better align our password reset flow with the industry standard of requiring a confirmation from the user after email validation.

If a file cannot be thumbnailed for some reason (e.g. the file is empty), then
catch the exception and convert it to a reasonable error message for the client.

Removes the `user_joined_room` and stops calling it since there are no observers.

Also cleans-up some other unused signals and related code.
