Allow testing old deps with postgres

If no thumbnail of the requested type exists, return a 404 instead
of erroring. This doesn't quite match the spec (which does not define
what happens if no thumbnail can be found), but is consistent with
what Synapse already does.

+
+Synapse 1.25.0 (2021-01-13)
+===========================
+
+Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5
+----------------------------------------------
+
+With this release, the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:
+
+All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream end-of-life schedules.
+
+Which means:
+
+* This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
+* We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month.
+* We will end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the year.
+
+Crucially, this means __we will not produce .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)__ beyond the transition period described below.
+
+The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of the support schedules for projects like [Python](https://endoflife.date/python) and [PostgreSQL](https://endoflife.date/postgresql).
+
+If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using the [Synapse Docker images](./INSTALL.md#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks) instead.
+
+### Transition Period
+
+We will make a good faith attempt to avoid breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March 2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier.
+
+We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period.
+
+Removal warning
+---------------
+
+The old [Purge Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/purge_room.md)
+and [Shutdown Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/shutdown_room.md)
+are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be replaced by the
+[Delete Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/rooms.md#delete-room-api).
+
+`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete` replaces `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room` and
+`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>`.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix HTTP proxy support when using a proxy that is on a blacklisted IP. Introduced in v1.25.0rc1. Contributed by @Bubu. ([\#9084](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9084))

+Synapse 1.24.0 (2020-12-09)
+===========================
+
+Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are
+encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being
+exploited in the wild.
+
+Security advisory
+-----------------
+
+The following issues are fixed in v1.23.1 and v1.24.0.
+
+- There is a denial of service attack
+  ([CVE-2020-26257](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26257))
+  against the federation APIs in which future events will not be correctly sent
+  to other servers over federation. This affects all servers that participate in
+  open federation. (Fixed in [#8776](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8776)).
+
+- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL
+  [CVE-2020-1971](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-1971).
+  Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the latest versions of
+  the cryptography Python package installed.
+
+To upgrade Synapse along with the cryptography package:
+
+* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
+  image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
+  packages from
+  `matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages)
+  should ensure that they have version 1.24.0 or 1.23.1 installed: these images include
+  the updated packages.
+* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
+  source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
+  should upgrade the cryptography package within their virtualenv by running:
+  ```sh
+  <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'cryptography>=3.3'
+  ```
+* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
+  consult the information from their distributions.
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Add a maximum version for pysaml2 on Python 3.5. ([\#8898](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8898))

+Upgrading to v1.26.0
+====================
+
+Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
+----------------------------------------------
+
+v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
+may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
+includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
+alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
+back to v1.25.0 you need to:
+
+1. Stop the server
+2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
+
+3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
+      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
+
+   For PostgreSQL run:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
+      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
+
+   For SQLite run:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
+      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
+
+4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
+      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
+
+5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
+   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
+
+Upgrading to v1.25.0
+====================
+
+Last release supporting Python 3.5
+----------------------------------
+
+This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
+which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
+
+We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
+
+In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
+older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
+and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
+
+Blacklisting IP ranges
+----------------------
+
+Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
+``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
+identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
+The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
+``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
+
+If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
+that you remove that setting.

+Upgrading to v1.24.0
+====================
+
+Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
+of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
+specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
+
+If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
+(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
+`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
+that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
+of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
+`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
+shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
+
+  class MyMappingProvider:
+      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
+          # ... your custom logic ...
+          sso_user_id = ...
+          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
+
+          return {"localpart": localpart}
+
+Removal historical Synapse Admin API 
+------------------------------------
+
+Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
+
+* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
+* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
+* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
+* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
+
+The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
+The Admin API is now only accessible under:
+
+* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
+
+The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
+`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
+
+The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
+on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
+access to the Admin API endpoints.

+## Undoing room shutdowns
+
+*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
+the structure can and does change without notice.
+
+First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
+never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
+to recover at all:
+
+* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
+* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
+* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
+
+With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
+
+1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
+2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
+   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
+   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
+3. Restart Synapse.
+
+You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
+
+* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
+* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
+* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
+
+
+# Make Room Admin API
+
+Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.
+If the user is not in the room, and it is not publicly joinable, then invite the user.

+Get an access token that can be used to authenticate as that user. Useful for
+when admins wish to do actions on behalf of a user.
+
+The API is::
+
+    POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/login
+    {}
+
+An optional ``valid_until_ms`` field can be specified in the request body as an
+integer timestamp that specifies when the token should expire. By default tokens
+do not expire.
+
+A response body like the following is returned:
+
+.. code:: json
+
+    {
+        "access_token": "<opaque_access_token_string>"
+    }
+
+
+This API does *not* generate a new device for the user, and so will not appear
+their ``/devices`` list, and in general the target user should not be able to
+tell they have been logged in as.
+
+To expire the token call the standard ``/logout`` API with the token.
+
+Note: The token will expire if the *admin* user calls ``/logout/all`` from any
+of their devices, but the token will *not* expire if the target user does the
+same.

+# Auth Chain Difference Algorithm
+
+The auth chain difference algorithm is used by V2 state resolution, where a
+naive implementation can be a significant source of CPU and DB usage.
+
+### Definitions
+
+A *state set* is a set of state events; e.g. the input of a state resolution
+algorithm is a collection of state sets.
+
+The *auth chain* of a set of events are all the events' auth events and *their*
+auth events, recursively (i.e. the events reachable by walking the graph induced
+by an event's auth events links).
+
+The *auth chain difference* of a collection of state sets is the union minus the
+intersection of the sets of auth chains corresponding to the state sets, i.e an
+event is in the auth chain difference if it is reachable by walking the auth
+event graph from at least one of the state sets but not from *all* of the state
+sets.
+
+## Breadth First Walk Algorithm
+
+A way of calculating the auth chain difference without calculating the full auth
+chains for each state set is to do a parallel breadth first walk (ordered by
+depth) of each state set's auth chain. By tracking which events are reachable
+from each state set we can finish early if every pending event is reachable from
+every state set.
+
+This can work well for state sets that have a small auth chain difference, but
+can be very inefficient for larger differences. However, this algorithm is still
+used if we don't have a chain cover index for the room (e.g. because we're in
+the process of indexing it).
+
+## Chain Cover Index
+
+Synapse computes auth chain differences by pre-computing a "chain cover" index
+for the auth chain in a room, allowing efficient reachability queries like "is
+event A in the auth chain of event B". This is done by assigning every event a
+*chain ID* and *sequence number* (e.g. `(5,3)`), and having a map of *links*
+between chains (e.g. `(5,3) -> (2,4)`) such that A is reachable by B (i.e. `A`
+is in the auth chain of `B`) if and only if either:
+
+1. A and B have the same chain ID and `A`'s sequence number is less than `B`'s
+   sequence number; or
+2. there is a link `L` between `B`'s chain ID and `A`'s chain ID such that
+   `L.start_seq_no` <= `B.seq_no` and `A.seq_no` <= `L.end_seq_no`.
+
+There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from
+each chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links
+graph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the
+links graph) e.g. if we have chains `C3 -> C2 -> C1` then the link `C3 -> C1`
+would not be stored. Synapse uses the former implementations so that it doesn't
+need to recurse to test reachability between chains.
+
+### Example
+
+An example auth graph would look like the following, where chains have been
+formed based on type/state_key and are denoted by colour and are labelled with
+`(chain ID, sequence number)`. Links are denoted by the arrows (links in grey
+are those that would be remove in the second implementation described above).
+
+![Example](auth_chain_diff.dot.png)
+
+Note that we don't include all links between events and their auth events, as
+most of those links would be redundant. For example, all events point to the
+create event, but each chain only needs the one link from it's base to the
+create event.
+
+## Using the Index
+
+This index can be used to calculate the auth chain difference of the state sets
+by looking at the chain ID and sequence numbers reachable from each state set:
+
+1. For every state set lookup the chain ID/sequence numbers of each state event
+2. Use the index to find all chains and the maximum sequence number reachable
+   from each state set.
+3. The auth chain difference is then all events in each chain that have sequence
+   numbers between the maximum sequence number reachable from *any* state set and
+   the minimum reachable by *all* state sets (if any).
+
+Note that steps 2 is effectively calculating the auth chain for each state set
+(in terms of chain IDs and sequence numbers), and step 3 is calculating the
+difference between the union and intersection of the auth chains.
+
+### Worked Example
+
+For example, given the above graph, we can calculate the difference between
+state sets consisting of:
+
+1. `S1`: Alice's invite `(4,1)` and Bob's second join `(2,2)`; and
+2. `S2`: Alice's second join `(4,3)` and Bob's first join `(2,1)`.
+
+Using the index we see that the following auth chains are reachable from each
+state set:
+
+1. `S1`: `(1,1)`, `(2,2)`, `(3,1)` & `(4,1)`
+2. `S2`: `(1,1)`, `(2,1)`, `(3,2)` & `(4,3)`
+
+And so, for each the ranges that are in the auth chain difference:
+1. Chain 1: None, (since everything can reach the create event).
+2. Chain 2: The range `(1, 2]` (i.e. just `2`), as `1` is reachable by all state
+   sets and the maximum reachable is `2` (corresponding to Bob's second join).
+3. Chain 3: Similarly the range `(1, 2]` (corresponding to the second power
+   level).
+4. Chain 4: The range `(1, 3]` (corresponding to both of Alice's joins).
+
+So the final result is: Bob's second join `(2,2)`, the second power level
+`(3,2)` and both of Alice's joins `(4,2)` & `(4,3)`.
