This is in the context of mainlining the Tchap fork of Synapse. Currently in Tchap usernames are derived from the user's email address (extracted from the UIA results, more specifically the m.login.email.identity step).
This change also exports the check_username method from the registration handler as part of the module API, so that a module can check if the username it's trying to generate is correct and doesn't conflict with an existing one, and fallback gracefully if not.

This is some odds and ends found during the review of #11791
and while continuing to work in this code:
* Return attrs classes instead of dictionaries from some methods
to improve type safety.
* Call `get_bundled_aggregations` fewer times.
* Adds a missing assertion in the tests.
* Do not return empty bundled aggregations for an event (preferring
to not include the bundle at all, as the docstring states).
This is mostly motivated by the tchap use case, where usernames are automatically generated from the user's email address (in a way that allows figuring out the email address from the username). Therefore, it's an issue if we respond to requests on /register and /register/available with M_USER_IN_USE, because it can potentially leak email addresses (which include the user's real name and place of work).
This commit adds a flag to inhibit the M_USER_IN_USE errors that are raised both by /register/available, and when providing a username early into the registration process. This error will still be raised if the user completes the registration process but the username conflicts. This is particularly useful when using modules (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11790 adds a module callback to set the username of users at registration) or SSO, since they can ensure the username is unique.
More context is available in the PR that introduced this behaviour to synapse-dinsic: matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#48 - as well as the issue in the matrix-dinsic repo: matrix-org/matrix-dinsic#476
Similar to #11817.
In `_create_power_level_validator` we
- retrieve `validator`. This is a class implementing the
`jsonschema.protocols.Validator` interface. In other words,
`validator: Type[jsonschema.protocols.Validator]`.
- we then create an second validator class by modifying the original
`validator`. We return that class, which is also of type
`Type[jsonschema.protocols.Validator]`.
So the original annotation was incorrect: it claimed we were returning
an instance of jsonSchema.Draft7Validator, not the class (or a subclass)
itself. (Strictly speaking this is incorrect, because `POWER_LEVELS_SCHEMA`
isn't pinned to a particular version of JSON Schema. But there are other
complications with the type stubs if you try to fix this; I felt like
the change herein was a decent compromise that better expresses intent).
(I suspect/hope the typeshed project would welcome an effort to improve
the jsonschema stubs. Let's see if I get some spare time.)

* CI: run Complement on the VM, not inside Docker
This requires https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/289
We now run Complement on the VM instead of inside a Docker container.
This is to allow Complement to bind to any high-numbered port when it
starts up its own federation servers. We want to do this to allow for
more concurrency when running complement tests. Previously, Complement
only ever bound to `:8448` when running its own federation server. This
prevented multiple federation tests running at the same time as they would
fight each other on the port. This did however allow Complement to run
in Docker, as the host could just port forward `:8448` to allow homeserver
containers to communicate to Complement. Now that we are using random
ports however, we cannot use Docker to run Complement. This ends up
being a good thing because:
- Running Complement tests locally is closer to how they run in CI.
- Allows the `CI` env var to be removed in Complement.
- Slightly speeds up runs as we don't need to pull down the Complement
image prior to running tests. This assumes GHA caches actions sensibly.

* Docs: add missing PR submission process how-tos
The documentation says that in order to submit a pull request you have to run the linter and links to [Run the linters](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters). IMO "Run the linters" should explain that development dependencies are a pre-requisite.
I also included `pip install wheel` which I had to run inside my virtual environment on ubuntu before I `pip install -e ".[all,dev]"` would succeed.
PyNaCl's recent 1.5.0 release on PyPi includes arm64 wheels, which means our
arm64 docker images now build in a sensible amount of time, so we can skip the
amd64-only build.

Debug for #8631.
I'm having a hard time tracking down what's going wrong in that issue.
In the reported example, I could see server A sending federation traffic
to server B and all was well. Yet B reports out-of-sync device updates
from A.
I couldn't see what was _in_ the events being sent from A to B. So I
have added some crude logging to track
- when we have updates to send to a remote HS
- the edus we actually accumulate to send
- when a federation transaction includes a device list update edu
- when such an EDU is received
This is a bit of a sledgehammer.
By scraping Open Graph information from the HTML even
when an autodiscovery endpoint is found. The results are
then combined to capture as much information as possible
from the page.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
The existing implementation of the `python_twisted_reactor_tick_time` metric is pretty useless, because it *only*
measures the time taken to execute timed calls and callbacks from threads. That neglects everything that
happens off the back of I/O, which is obviously quite a lot for us.
To improve this, I've hooked into a different place in the reactor - in particular, where it calls `epoll`. That call is
the only place it should wait for something to happen - the rest of the loop *should* be quick.
I've also removed `python_twisted_reactor_pending_calls`, because I don't believe anyone ever looks at it, and
it's a nuisance to populate.
Always add state.room_id after the configurable ORDER BY. Otherwise,
for any sort, certain pages can contain results from
other pages. (Especially when sorting by creator, since there may
be many rooms by the same creator)
* Document different order direction of numerical fields
"joined_members", "joined_local_members", "version" and "state_events"
are ordered in descending direction by default (dir=f). Added a note
in tests to explain the differences in ordering.

Rather than hooking into the reactor loop, just add a timed task that runs every 100 ms to do the garbage collection.
Part 1 of a quest to simplify the reactor monkey-patching.
Currently when puppeting another user, the user doing the puppeting is
tracked for client IPs and MAU (if configured).
When tracking MAU is important, it becomes necessary to be possible to
also track the client IPs and MAU of puppeted users. As an example a
client that manages user creation and creation of tokens via the Synapse
admin API, passing those tokens for the client to use.
This PR adds optional configuration to enable tracking of puppeted users
into monthly active users. The default behaviour stays the same.

By returning all of the m.space.child state of the space, not just
the first 50. The number of rooms returned is still capped at 50.
For the federation API this implies that the requesting server will
need to individually query for any other rooms it is not joined to.
* Optionally use an on-disk sqlite db in tests
When debugging a test it is sometimes useful to inspect the state of the
DB. This is not easy when the db is in-memory: one cannot attach the
sqlite CLI to another process's DB.
With this change, if SYNAPSE_TEST_PERSIST_SQLITE_DB is set, we use
`_trial_temp/test.db` as our sqlite database. One can then use
`sqlite3 _trial_temp/test.db` and query to your heart's content.
The DB is destroyed and recreated between different test cases.

This makes the serialization of events synchronous (and it no
longer access the database), but we must manually calculate and
provide the bundled aggregations.
Overall this should cause no change in behavior, but is prep work
for other improvements.
Fixes minor discrepancies between the /hierarchy endpoint described
in MSC2946 and the implementation.
Note that the changes impact the stable and unstable /hierarchy and
unstable /spaces endpoints for both client and federation APIs.
* `_auth_and_persist_outliers`: mark persisted events as outliers
Mark any events that get persisted via `_auth_and_persist_outliers` as, well,
outliers.
Currently this will be a no-op as everything will already be flagged as an
outlier, but I'm going to change that.
* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
* Fix AssertionErrors after purging events
If you purged a bunch of events from your database, and then restarted synapse
without receiving more events, then you would get a bunch of AssertionErrors on
restart.
This fixes the situation by rewinding the stream processors.
* `check-newsfragment`: ignore deleted newsfiles
Events returned by `backfill` should not be flagged as outliers.
Fixes:
```
AssertionError: null

* Push `get_room_{min,max_stream_ordering}` into StreamStore
Both implementations of this are identical, so we may as well push it down and
get rid of the abstract base class nonsense.
* Remove redundant `StreamStore` class
This is empty now
* Remove redundant `get_current_events_token`
This was an exact duplicate of `get_room_max_stream_ordering`, so let's get rid
of it.
* newsfile
* remove python 3.6 and postgres 9.6 from github workflow
* remove python 3.6 env from tox
* newsfragment
* correct postgres version
* add py310 to tox env list
* Wrap `auth.get_user_by_req` in an opentracing span
give `get_user_by_req` its own opentracing span, since it can result in a
non-trivial number of sub-spans which it is useful to group together.
This requires a bit of reorganisation because it also sets some tags (and may
force tracing) on the servlet span.
* Emit opentracing span for encoding json responses
This can be a significant time sink.
* Rename all sync spans with a prefix
* Write an opentracing span for encoding sync response
* opentracing span to group generate_room_entries
* opentracing spans within sync.encode_response
* changelog
* Use the `trace` decorator instead of context managers
This adds some opentracing annotations to ResponseCache, to make it easier to see what's going on; in particular, it adds a link back to the initial trace which is actually doing the work of generating the response.
* remove `start_active_span_from_request`
Instead, pull out a separate function, `span_context_from_request`, to extract
the parent span, which we can then pass into `start_active_span` as
normal. This seems to be clearer all round.
* Remove redundant tags from `incoming-federation-request`
These are all wrapped up inside a parent span generated in AsyncResource, so
there's no point duplicating all the tags that are set there.
* Leave request spans open until the request completes
It may take some time for the response to be encoded into JSON, and that JSON
to be streamed back to the client, and really we want that inside the top-level
span, so let's hand responsibility for closure to the SynapseRequest.
* opentracing logs for HTTP request events
* changelog
* Disable aggregation bundling on `/sync` responses
A partial revert of #11478. This turns out to have had a significant CPU impact
on initial-sync handling. For now, let's disable it, until we find a more
efficient way of achieving this.
* Fix tests.

A couple of safety-checks to hopefully stop people doing what I just did, and create a storage
function which only works the first time it is called (and not when it is re-run due to a database
concurrency error or similar).
* Splits the logic for parsing HTML from the resource handling code.
* Fix a circular import in the oEmbed code (which uses the HTML parsing code).
* Renames some of the HTML parsing methods to:
* Make it clear which methods are "internal" to the module.
* Clarify what the methods do.
Create a new dict helper method `simple_insert_many_values_txn`, which takes
raw row values, rather than {key=>value} dicts. This saves us a bunch of dict
munging, and makes it easier to use generators rather than creating
intermediate lists and dicts.

After #10847, `looping_background_call` would print an error in the logs
every time a non-async function was called. Since the error would be
caught and ignored immediately, there were no other side effects.
Due to updates to MSC2675 this includes a few fixes:
* Include bundled aggregations for /sync.
* Do not include bundled aggregations for /initialSync and /events.
* Do not bundle aggregations for state events.
* Clarifies comments and variable names.
by calling into `make_test_homeserver_synchronous`.
The function *could* have been inlined at this point but the function is big enough
and it felt fine to leave it as is.
At least there isn't a confusing name clash anymore!
It had no users.
We have just taken the identity of a previous function but don't provide the same
behaviour, so we need to fix this in the next commit...
This mainly consists of docstrings and inline comments. There are one or two type annotations and variable renames thrown in while I was here.

When all entries in an `LruCache` have a size of 0 according to the
provided `size_callback`, and `drop_from_cache` is called on a cache
node, the node would be unlinked from the LRU linked list but remain in
the cache dictionary. An assertion would be later be tripped due to the
inconsistency.
Avoid unintentionally calling `__len__` and use a strict `is None`
check instead when unwrapping the weak reference.

Call stack:
- `_persist_events_and_state_updates` (added `use_negative_stream_ordering`)
- `_persist_events_txn`
- `_update_room_depths_txn` (added `update_room_forward_stream_ordering`)
- `_update_metadata_tables_txn`
- `_store_room_members_txn` (added `inhibit_local_membership_updates`)
Using keyword-only arguments (`*`) to reduce the mistakes from `backfilled` being left as a positional argument somewhere and being interpreted wrong by our new arguments.
Since e81fa92648, Synapse depends on
the use_float flag which has been introduced in ijson 3.1 and
is not available in 3.0. This is known to cause runtime errors
with send_join.

The previous fix for the ongoing event fetches counter
(8eec25a1d9) was both insufficient and
incorrect.
When the database is unreachable, `_do_fetch` never gets run and so
`_event_fetch_ongoing` is never decremented.
The previous fix also moved the `_event_fetch_ongoing` decrement outside
of the `_event_fetch_lock` which allowed race conditions to corrupt the
counter.
This change makes mypy complain if the constants are ever reassigned,
and, more usefully, makes mypy type them as `Literal`s instead of `str`s,
allowing code of the following form to pass mypy:
```py
def do_something(membership: Literal["join", "leave"], ...): ...
do_something(Membership.JOIN, ...)

Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
===========================
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
Security advisory
-----------------
The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.
- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
Instead of only known relation types. This also reworks the background
update for thread relations to crawl events and search for any relation
type, not just threaded relations.
Synapse 1.51.0 deprecates `webclient` listeners and non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location`s. Support for these will be removed in Synapse 1.53.0, at which point Synapse will not be capable of directly serving a web client for Matrix. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1510).

Synapse 1.49.2 (2021-12-21)
===========================
This release fixes a regression introduced in Synapse 1.49.0 which could cause `/sync` requests to take significantly longer. This would particularly affect "initial" syncs for users participating in a large number of rooms, and in extreme cases, could make it impossible for such users to log in on a new client.
**Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6, both of which have now reached upstream end-of-life. Synapse will require Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+.
**Note:** We will also stop producing packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) after this release, as it uses Python 3.6.

Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
===========================
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
Security advisory
-----------------
The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.
- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
Allowtheadmin[DeleteRoomAPI](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api) to block a room without the need to join it.
Prevent [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) historical state events from being pushed to an application service via `/transactions`.
Suggest users of the Debian packages add configuration to `/etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/` to prevent, upon upgrade, being asked to choose between their configuration and the maintainer's.
Fix an issue which prevented the 'remove deleted devices from device_inbox column' background process from running when updating from a recent Synapse version.
Fix a bug, introduced in Synapse 1.46.0, which caused the `check_3pid_auth` and `on_logged_out` callbacks in legacy password authentication provider modules to not be registered. Modules using the generic module API were not affected.
Fix a bug introduced in 1.41.0 where space hierarchy responses would be incorrectly reused if multiple users were to make the same request at the same time.
