This is primarily for allowing us to send those commands from workers, but for now simply allows us to ignore echoed RDATA/POSITION commands that we sent (we get echoes of sent commands when using redis). Currently we log a WARNING on the master process every time we receive an echoed RDATA.
The aim here is to move the command handling out of the TCP protocol classes and to also merge the client and server command handling (so that we can reuse them for redis protocol). This PR simply moves the client paths to the new `ReplicationCommandHandler`, a future PR will move the server paths too.
If there was an exception setting up one of the attributes of the Homeserver
god object, then future attempts to fetch that attribute would raise a
confusing "Cyclic dependency" error. Let's make sure that we clear the
`building` flag so that we just get the original exception.

* Remove `conn_id` usage for UserSyncCommand.
Each tcp replication connection is assigned a "conn_id", which is used
to give an ID to a remotely connected worker. In a redis world, there
will no longer be a one to one mapping between connection and instance,
so instead we need to replace such usages with an ID generated by the
remote instances and included in the replicaiton commands.
This really only effects UserSyncCommand.
* Add CLEAR_USER_SYNCS command that is sent on shutdown.
This should help with the case where a synchrotron gets restarted
gracefully, rather than rely on 5 minute timeout.
This changes the replication protocol so that the server does not send down `RDATA` for rows that happened before the client connected. Instead, the server will send a `POSITION` and clients then query the database (or master out of band) to get up to date.
The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
We should explicitly close any db connections we open, because failing to do so
can block other transactions as per
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3682.
Let's also try to factor out some of the boilerplate by having server classes
define their datastore class rather than duplicating the whole of `setup`.
