I've reiterated the advice about using `oidc` to migrate, since I've seen a few
people caught by this.
I've also removed a couple of the examples as they are duplicating the OIDC
documentation, and I think they might be leading people astray.
* Add a config option to prioritise local users in user directory search results (#9383)
This PR adds a homeserver config option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, that when enabled will show local users higher in user directory search results than remote users. This option is off by default.
Note that turning this on doesn't necessarily mean that remote users will always be put below local users, but they should be assuming all other ranking factors (search query match, profile information present etc) are identical.
This is useful for, say, University networks that are openly federating, but want to prioritise local students and staff in the user directory over other random users.
* Don't mix simple and english psql query types

Add off-by-default configuration settings to:
- disable putting an invitee's profile info in invite events
- disable profile lookup via federation
