This looks like it got half-killed back in #888.

Fixes #6567.

... and update INSTALL.md to include py3.8.

We'll also have to update the buildkite pipeline to run it

* update version of black and also fix the mypy config being overridden

Add a linting script that enforces all boolean values in the default config be lowercase.

This has annoyed me for a while so I decided to fix it.

* Fix presence timeouts when synchrotron restarts.

Handling timeouts would fail if there was an external process that had
timed out, e.g. a synchrotron restarting. This was due to a couple of
variable name typoes.

Fixes #3715.

* remove 2.7 from CI and publishing

* fill out classifiers and also make it not be installed on 3.5

* some minor bumps so that the old deps work on python 3.5

* Pin eliot to <1.8 on python 3.5.2

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5199

* Add support for 'markers' to python_dependencies

* tell xargs not to strip quotes

pip 19.1 otherwise complains about "editable mode is not supported for
pyproject.toml-style projects"

* Run unit tests against python 3.7

... so that we span the full range of our supported python versions

* Switch to xenial

* fix psql fail

* pep8 etc want python 3.6

Make the dependencies more like a standard Python project and hook up the optional dependencies to setuptools (#4298)

* port hash_password

* changelog

It seems that, at some point, the ability to run tox on old servers (with old
setuptools) got broken - and it was only working on our Jenkins instance by
dint of reusing the tox environments.

Let's try to get tox to do the right thing, and remove the guff from
jenkins/prepare_synapse.sh.

(There is a separate question about whether the jenkins builds should be using
tox to prepare the virtualenv at all here, but that is somewhat orthogonal).

I don't think we ever use this, and it slows things down. If we want to use it,
we should just do so on a couple of builds rather than all of them.
