Spawning from wanting to [run a load
test](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse-rust-apps/pull/397) against
the Complement Docker image of Synapse and see metrics from the
homeserver.
### Why not just provide your own homeserver config?
Probably possible but it gets tricky when you try to use the workers
variant of the Docker image (`docker/Dockerfile-workers`). The way to
workaround it would probably be to `yq` edit everything in a script and
change `/data/homeserver.yaml` and `/conf/workers/*.yaml` to add the
`metrics` listener. And then modify `/conf/workers/shared.yaml` to add
`enable_metrics: true`. Doesn't spark much joy.
Fix a couple type annotations in the `RootConfig`/`Config`. Discovered
while cribbing this code for another project.
It's really sucks that `mypy` type checking doesn't catch this. I assume
this is because we also have a `synapse/config/_base.pyi` that overrides
all of this. Still unclear to me why the `Iterable[str]` vs
`StrSequence` issue wasn't caught as that's what `ConfigError` expects.

Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

Wait George, why XOR? Why not just neq?
