The [postgres setup docs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/postgres.md#set-up-database) recommend setting up your database with user `synapse_user`.
However, uncommenting the postgres defaults in the sample config leave you with user `synapse`.
This PR switches the sample config to recommend `synapse_user`. Took a me a second to figure this out, so assume this will beneficial to others.
As mentioned in #7397, switching to a debian base should help with multi-arch work to save time on compiling. This is unashamedly based on #6373, but without the extra functionality. Switch python version back to generic 3.7 to always pull the latest. Essentially, keeping this as small as possible. The image is bigger though unfortunately.
It serves no purpose and updating everytime we write to the device inbox
stream means all such transactions will conflict, causing lots of
transaction failures and retries.
I'm pretty sure there's no technical reason these have to be distinct server blocks, so collapse into one and go with the more terse location block.

When we get behind on replication, we tend to stack up background processes
behind a linearizer. Bg processes are heavy (particularly with respect to
prometheus metrics) and linearizers aren't terribly efficient once the queue
gets long either.
A better approach is to maintain a queue of requests to be processed, and
nominate a single process to work its way through the queue.
Fixes: #7444
It was correct at the time of our friend Jorik writing it (checking
git blame), but the world has moved now and it is no longer a
generator.

When considering rooms to clean up in `delete_old_current_state_events`, skip
rooms which we are creating, which otherwise look a bit like rooms we have
left.
Fixes#7834.
As far as I can tell from the sentry logs, the only time this has actually done
anything in the last two years is when we had two master workers running at
once, and even then, it made a bit of a mess of it (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7845#issuecomment-658238739).
Generally I feel like this code is doing more harm than good.
I'm tempted to remove this section entirely, but it's helpful for admins who are trying to figure out why their Synapse is crashing on start with ACME errors.
