Related to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17035, when
Synapse receives a request that is larger than the maximum size allowed,
it aborts the connection without ever sending back a HTTP response.
I dug into our usage of twisted and how best to try and report such an
error and this is what I came up with.
It would be ideal to be able to report the status from within
`handleContentChunk` but that is called too early on in the twisted http
handling code, before things have been setup enough to be able to
properly write a response.
I tested this change out locally (both with C-S and S-S apis) and they
do receive a 413 response now in addition to the connection being
closed.
Hopefully this will aid in being able to quickly detect when
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17035 is occurring as the
current situation makes it very hard to narrow things down to that
specific issue without making a lot of assumptions.
This PR also responds with more meaningful error codes now in the case
of:
- multiple `Content-Length` headers
- invalid `Content-Length` header value
- request content size being larger than the `Content-Length` value

The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
- Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
- End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
- Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the
entry.

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
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.
