When retrieving counts of notifications segment the results based on the
thread ID, but choose whether to return them as individual threads or as
a single summed field by letting the client opt-in via a sync flag.
The summarization code is also updated to be per thread, instead of per
room.
Most of the time this function is heavily cached, but when that isn't
the case fetching the counts room by room slows down push delivery on
users with many (thousands) of rooms.

Fixes#11887 hopefully.
The core change here is that `event_push_summary` now holds a summary of counts up until a much more recent point, meaning that the range of rows we need to count in `event_push_actions` is much smaller.
This needs two major changes:
1. When we get a receipt we need to recalculate `event_push_summary` rather than just delete it
2. The logic for deleting `event_push_actions` is now divorced from calculating `event_push_summary`.
In future it would be good to calculate `event_push_summary` while we persist a new event (it should just be a case of adding one to the relevant rows in `event_push_summary`), as that will further simplify the get counts logic and remove the need for us to periodically update `event_push_summary` in a background job.
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

This PR adds a new config option to the `push` section of the homeserver config, `group_unread_count_by_room`. By default Synapse will group push notifications by room (so if you have 1000 unread messages, if they lie in 55 rooms, you'll see an unread count on your phone of 55).
However, it is also useful to be able to send out the true count of unread messages if desired. If `group_unread_count_by_room` is set to `false`, then with the above example, one would see an unread count of 1000 (email anyone?).
* Fixup `ALTER TABLE` database queries
Make the new columns nullable, because doing otherwise can wedge a
server with a big database, as setting a default value rewrites the
table.
* Switch back to using the notifications count in the push badge
Clients are likely to be confused if we send a push but the badge count
is the unread messages one, and not the notifications one.
* Changelog
* Always return an unread_count in get_unread_event_push_actions_by_room_for_user
* Don't always expect unread_count to be there so we don't take out sync entirely if something goes wrong
Currently we rely on `current_state_events` to figure out what rooms a
user was in and their last membership event in there. However, if the
server leaves the room then the table may be cleaned up and that
information is lost. So lets add a table that separately holds that
information.
