* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string
* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource
* use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
(giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)
* do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.
* Fix servlet metric names

* Remove redundant check
* Cover all return paths
Firstly, we always logged that the request was being handled via
`JsonResource._async_render`, so we change that to use the servlet name
we add to the request.
Secondly, we pass the exception information to the logger rather than
formatting it manually. This makes it consistent with other exception
logging, allwoing logging hooks and formatters to access the exception
information.
If a HTTP handler throws an exception while processing a request we
automatically write a JSON error response. If the handler had already
started writing a response twisted throws an exception.
We should check for this case and simple abort the connection if there
was an error after the response had started being written.
The problem with dumping all of the json response into the Request object at
once is that doing so starts the timeout for the next request to be received:
so if it takes longer than 60s to stream back the response to the client, the
client never gets it.
The correct solution is to use a Producer; then the timeout is only started
once all of the content is sent over the TCP connection.
This commit moves a bunch of the logic for deciding when to log the receipt and
completion of HTTP requests into SynapseRequest, rather than in the request
handling wrappers.
Advantages of this are:
* we get logs for *all* requests (including OPTIONS and HEADs), rather than
just those that end up hitting handlers we've remembered to decorate
correctly.
* when a request handler wires up a Producer (as the media stuff does
currently, and as other things will do soon), we log at the point that all
of the traffic has been sent to the client.
We really shouldn't be sending all CodeMessageExceptions back over the C-S API;
it will include things like 401s which we shouldn't proxy.
That means that we need to explicitly turn a few HttpResponseExceptions into
SynapseErrors in the federation layer.
The effect of the latter is that the matrix errcode will get passed through
correctly to calling clients, which might help with some of the random
M_UNKNOWN errors when trying to join rooms.
(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
This is useful in its own right, because server.py is full of stuff; but more
importantly, I want to do some refactoring that will cause a circular reference
as it is.
