Updates the sample configuration with the pysaml2 configuration for
accepting clock skew/drift between the homeserver and IdP.

Short-term fix for https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8766.

Make `make_request` actually render the request

De-duplicates code between the SAML and OIDC implementations.

remove the stubbing out of `request.process`, so that `requestReceived` also renders the request via the appropriate resource.

Replace render() with a stub for now.

the preview resource is mointed at preview_url, not url_preview

Pass a Site into `make_request`

FakeChannel has everything we need, and this more accurately models the real
flow.

`_locally_reject_invite` generates an out-of-band membership event which can be passed to clients, but not other homeservers.

This is used when we fail to reject an invite over federation. If this happens, we instead just generate a leave event locally and send it down /sync, allowing clients to reject invites even if we can't reach the remote homeserver.

A similar flow needs to be put in place for rescinding knocks. If we're unable to contact any remote server from the room we've tried to knock on, we'd still like to generate and store the leave event locally. Hence the need to reuse, and thus generalise, this method.

Separated from #6739.

The root resource isn't necessarily a JsonResource, so rename this method
accordingly, and update a couple of test classes to use the method rather than
directly manipulating self.resource.

Some tests want to set some custom HTTP request headers, so provide a way to do
that before calling requestReceived().

Where we want to render a request against a specific Resource, call the global
make_request() function rather than the one in HomeserverTestCase, allowing us
to pass in an appropriate `Site`.

There's a handy function called maybe_store_room_on_invite which allows us to create an entry in the rooms table for a room and its version for which we aren't joined to yet, but we can reference when ingesting events about.

This is currently used for invites where we receive some stripped state about the room and pass it down via /sync to the client, without us being in the room yet.

There is a similar requirement for knocking, where we will eventually do the same thing, and need an entry in the rooms table as well. Thus, reusing this function works, however its name needs to be generalised a bit.

Separated out from #6739.

Related to #8714. `event_reports.rst` was introduced in Synapse 1.21.0.

add some mdui:UIInfo element examples for saml2_config in homeserver.yaml

Minor corrections and advice... Should help beginners.

The main use case is to see how many requests are being made, and how
many are second/third/etc attempts. If there are large number of retries
then that likely indicates a delivery problem.

If the script fails (or is CTRL-C'ed) between porting some of the events table and copying of the sequences then the port script will immediately die if run again due to the postgres DB having inconsistencies between sequences and tables.

The fix is to move the porting of sequences to before porting the tables, so that there is never a period where the Postgres DB is inconsistent. To do that we need to change how we port the sequences so that it calculates the values from the SQLite DB rather than the Postgres DB.

Fixes #8619 

This should hopefully speed up `get_auth_chain_difference` a bit in the case of repeated state res on the same rooms.

`get_auth_chain_difference` does a breadth first walk of the auth graphs by repeatedly looking up events' auth events. Different state resolutions on the same room will end up doing a lot of the same event to auth events lookups, so by caching them we should speed things up in cases of repeated state resolutions on the same room.
