most of these params don't really need to be lists.

Hopefully this is no worse than what we have on master...

By persisting the user interactive authentication sessions to the database, this fixes
situations where a user hits different works throughout their auth session and also
allows sessions to persist through restarts of Synapse.

This is primarily for allowing us to send those commands from workers, but for now simply allows us to ignore echoed RDATA/POSITION commands that we sent (we get echoes of sent commands when using redis). Currently we log a WARNING on the master process every time we receive an echoed RDATA.

For direct TCP connections we need the master to relay REMOTE_SERVER_UP
commands to the other connections so that all instances get notified
about it. The old implementation just relayed to all connections,
assuming that sending back to the original sender of the command was
safe. This is not true for redis, where commands sent get echoed back to
the sender, which was causing master to effectively infinite loop
sending and then re-receiving REMOTE_SERVER_UP commands that it sent.

The fix is to ensure that we only relay to *other* connections and not
to the connection we received the notification from.

Fixes #7334.

* Factor out functions for injecting events into database

I want to add some more flexibility to the tools for injecting events into the
database, and I don't want to clutter up HomeserverTestCase with them, so let's
factor them out to a new file.

* Rework TestReplicationDataHandler

This wasn't very easy to work with: the mock wrapping was largely superfluous,
and it's useful to be able to inspect the received rows, and clear out the
received list.

* Fix AssertionErrors being thrown by EventsStream

Part of the problem was that there was an off-by-one error in the assertion,
but also the limit logic was too simple. Fix it all up and add some tests.

Specifically some tests for the typing stream, which means we test streams that fetch missing updates via HTTP (rather than via the DB).

We also shuffle things around a bit so that we create two separate `HomeServer` objects, rather than trying to insert a slaved store into places.

Note: `test_typing.py` is heavily inspired by `test_receipts.py`

When running the UTs against a postgres deatbase, we need to set the collation
correctly.

Currently we never write to streams from workers, but that will change soon

We need to wait for the renewals to finish, so that the metrics are correctly
reported.

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere and means that you suddenly start losing metrics without any obvious reason when you go from monolith to workers (e.g. #7312).

If the admin adds a `.yaml` file that's either empty or doesn't parse into a dict to a config directory (e.g. `conf.d` for debs installs), stuff like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322 would happen. This PR checks that the file is correctly parsed into a dict, or ignores it with a warning if it parses into any other type (including `None` for empty files).

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322

Fix assertions being thrown by the EventsStream update function

Figuring out how to correctly limit updates from this stream without dropping
entries is far more complicated than just counting the number of rows being
returned. We need to consider each query separately and, if any one query hits
the limit, truncate the results from the others.

I think this also fixes some potentially long-standing bugs where events or
state changes could get missed if we hit the limit on either query.

Synapse v1.12.4

Features:

* Always send users their own device updates. (#7160)
* Add support for handling GET requests for account_data on a worker. (#7311)

Bugfixes:

* Fix a bug that prevented cross-signing with users on worker-mode synapses. (#7255)
* Do not treat display names as globs in push rules. (#7271)
* Fix a bug with cross-signing devices belonging to remote users who did not share a
  room with any user on the local homeserver. (#7289)

there doesn't seem to be much point in passing this limit all around, since
both sides agree it's meant to be 100.

This reverts commit 1adf6a55.

This reverts commit 6f431936, reversing
changes made to 0d775fcc.

Config option to inhibit 3PID errors on /requestToken

Long story short: if we're handling presence on the current worker, we shouldn't be sending USER_SYNC commands over replication.

In an attempt to figure out what is going on here, I ended up refactoring some bits of the presencehandler code, so the first 4 commits here are non-functional refactors to move this code slightly closer to sanity. (There's still plenty to do here :/). Suggest reviewing individual commits.

Fixes (I hope) #7257.

Adds a request_token_inhibit_errors configuration flag (disabled by
default) which, if enabled, change the behaviour of all /requestToken
endpoints so that they return a 200 and a fake sid if the 3PID was/was
not found associated with an account (depending on the endpoint),
instead of an error.
