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
* 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.

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.
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.
