Stabilise MAS integration (#18759)

This can be reviewed commit by commit

There are a few improvements over the experimental support:

- authorisation of Synapse <-> MAS requests is simplified, with a single
shared secret, removing the need for provisioning a client on the MAS
side
- the tests actually spawn a real server, allowing us to test the rust
introspection layer
- we now check that the device advertised in introspection actually
exist, making it so that when a user logs out, the tokens are
immediately invalidated, even if the cache doesn't expire
- it doesn't rely on discovery anymore, rather on a static endpoint
base. This means users don't have to override the introspection endpoint
to avoid internet roundtrips
- it doesn't depend on `authlib` anymore, as we simplified a lot the
calls done from Synapse to MAS

We still have to update the MAS documentation about the Synapse setup,
but that can be done later.

### `matrix_authentication_service`
*(object)* The `matrix_authentication_service` setting configures integration with [Matrix Authentication Service (MAS)](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service).
This setting has the following sub-options:
* `enabled` (boolean): Whether or not to enable the MAS integration. If this is set to `false`, Synapse will use its legacy internal authentication API. Defaults to `false`.
* `endpoint` (string): The URL where Synapse can reach MAS. This *must* have the `discovery` and `oauth` resources mounted. Defaults to `"http://localhost:8080"`.
* `secret` (string|null): A shared secret that will be used to authenticate requests from and to MAS.
* `secret_path` (string|null): Alternative to `secret`, reading the shared secret from a file. The file should be a plain text file, containing only the secret. Synapse reads the secret from the given file once at startup.
Example configuration:
```yaml
matrix_authentication_service:
enabled: true
secret: someverysecuresecret
endpoint: http://localhost:8080
```

### `dummy_events_threshold`
*(integer)* Forward extremities can build up in a room due to networking delays between homeservers. Once this happens in a large room, calculation of the state of that room can become quite expensive. To mitigate this, once the number of forward extremities reaches a given threshold, Synapse will send an `org.matrix.dummy_event` event, which will reduce the forward extremities in the room.
