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.

Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18659
This changes the Tokio runtime to be attached to the Twisted reactor.
This way, the Tokio runtime starts when the Twisted reactor starts, and
*not* when the module gets loaded.
This is important as starting the runtime on module load meant that it
broke when Synapse was started with `daemonize`/`synctl`, as forks only
retain the calling threads, breaking the Tokio runtime.
This also changes so that the HttpClient gets the Twisted reactor
explicitly as parameter instead of loading it from
`twisted.internet.reactor`
We do this by shoving it into Rust. We believe our python http client is
a bit slow.
Also bumps minimum rust version to 1.81.0, released last September (over
six months ago)
To allow for async Rust, includes some adapters between Tokio in Rust
and the Twisted reactor in Python.
Add `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` (the worker instance that persisted the event) to go alongside the existing `event.internal_metadata.stream_ordering`.
`instance_name` is useful to properly compare and query for events with a token since you need to compare both the `stream_ordering` and `instance_name` against the vector clock/`instance_map` in the `RoomStreamToken`.
This is pre-requisite work and may be used in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17293
Adding `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` was first mentioned in the initial Sliding Sync PR while pairing with @erikjohnston, see 09609cb0db (diff-5cd773fb307aa754bd3948871ba118b1ef0303f4d72d42a2d21e38242bf4e096R405-R410)
During the migration the automated script to update the copyright
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.
There are a couple of things we need to be careful of here:
1. The current python code does no validation when loading from the DB,
so we need to be careful to ignore such errors (at least on jki.re there
are some old events with internal metadata fields of the wrong type).
2. We want to be memory efficient, as we often have many hundreds of
thousands of events in the cache at a time.
