When a user creates an account and the 'require_auth_for_profile_requests' config flag is set, and a client that performed the registration wants to lookup the newly-created profile, the request will be denied because the user doesn't share a room with themselves yet.
This commit adds two config options:
* `restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users`
Requires auth to fetch the public rooms directory through the CS API and disables fetching it through the federation API.
* `require_auth_for_profile_requests`
When set to `true`, requires that requests to `/profile` over the CS API are authenticated, and only returns the user's profile if the requester shares a room with the profile's owner, as per MSC1301.
MSC1301 also specifies a behaviour for federation (only returning the profile if the server asking for it shares a room with the profile's owner), but that's currently really non-trivial to do in a not too expensive way. Next step is writing down a MSC that allows a HS to specify which user sent the profile query. In this implementation, Synapse won't send a profile query over federation if it doesn't believe it already shares a room with the profile's owner, though.
Groups have been intentionally omitted from this commit.
Adds a new method, check_3pid_auth, which gives password providers
the chance to allow authentication with third-party identifiers such
as email or msisdn.
Turns out that the user directory handling is fairly racey as a bunch
of stuff assumes that the processing happens on master, which it doesn't
when there is a synapse.app.user_dir worker. So lets just call the
function directly until we actually get round to fixing it, since it
doesn't make the situation any worse.
It turns out that looping_call does check the deferred returned by its
callback, and (at least in the case of client_ips), we were relying on this,
and I broke it in #3604.
Update run_as_background_process to return the deferred, and make sure we
return it to clock.looping_call.
_update_remote_profile_cache was missing its `defer.inlineCallbacks`, so when
it was called, would just return a generator object, without actually running
any of the method body.
The only place that was observed was to set the profile. I've made it
so that the profile is set within store.register in the same transaction
that creates the user.
This required some slight changes to the registration code for upgrading
guest users, since it previously relied on the distributor swallowing errors
if the profile already existed.
