### Background
As part of Element's plan to support a light form of vhosting (virtual
host) (multiple instances of Synapse in the same Python process), we're
currently diving into the details and implications of running multiple
instances of Synapse in the same Python process.
"Clean tenant provisioning" tracked internally by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse-small-hosts/issues/221
### Partial startup problem
In the context of Synapse Pro for Small Hosts, since the Twisted reactor
is already running (from the `multi_synapse` shard process itself), when
provisioning a homeserver tenant, the `reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`
callbacks will be invoked immediately. This includes the Synapse's
[`start`](0615b64bb4/synapse/app/homeserver.py (L418-L429))
callback which sets up everything (including listeners, background
tasks, etc). If we encounter an error at this point, we are partially
setup but the exception will [bubble back to
us](8be122186b/multi_synapse/app/shard.py (L114-L121))
without us having a handle to the homeserver yet so we can't call
`hs.shutdown()` and clean everything up.
### What does this PR do?
Structures Synapse so we split creating the homeserver instance from
setting everything up. This way we have access to `hs` if anything goes
wrong during setup and can subsequently `hs.shutdown()` to clean
everything up.
Introduce `Clock.call_when_running(...)` to wrap startup code in a
logcontext, ensuring we can identify which server generated the logs.
Background:
> Ideally, nothing from the Synapse homeserver would be logged against the `sentinel`
> logcontext as we want to know which server the logs came from. In practice, this is not
> always the case yet especially outside of request handling.
>
> Global things outside of Synapse (e.g. Twisted reactor code) should run in the
> `sentinel` logcontext. It's only when it calls into application code that a logcontext
> gets activated. This means the reactor should be started in the `sentinel` logcontext,
> and any time an awaitable yields control back to the reactor, it should reset the
> logcontext to be the `sentinel` logcontext. This is important to avoid leaking the
> current logcontext to the reactor (which would then get picked up and associated with
> the next thing the reactor does).

Also adds a lint to prefer `Clock.call_when_running(...)` over
`reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`

During the migration the automated script to update the copyright

Reinstate them.
Allow configuring the set of workers to proxy outbound federation traffic through (`outbound_federation_restricted_to`).
This is useful when you have a worker setup with `federation_sender` instances responsible for sending outbound federation requests and want to make sure *all* outbound federation traffic goes through those instances. Before this change, the generic workers would still contact federation themselves for things like profile lookups, backfill, etc. This PR allows you to set more strict access controls/firewall for all workers and only allow the `federation_sender`'s to contact the outside world.

and we started collecting stats on 2021-08-16. Since it's been over a year now
(almost 2 years), this is enough grace period for us to now rip it out.

Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
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`.
This implements a more standard API for instantiating a homeserver and
moves some of the dependency injection into the test suite.
More concretely this stops using `setattr` on all `kwargs` passed to `HomeServer`.
This ended up being a bit more invasive than I'd hoped for (not helped by
generic_worker duplicating some of the code from homeserver), but hopefully
it's an improvement.
The idea is that, rather than storing unstructured `dict`s in the config for
the listener configurations, we instead parse it into a structured
`ListenerConfig` object.
When we get an invite over federation, store the room version in the rooms table.
The general idea here is that, when we pull the invite out again, we'll want to know what room_version it belongs to (so that we can later redact it if need be). So we need to store it somewhere...
