Our documentation has a history of using a document's name as a way to link to it, such as "See [workers.md]() for details". This makes sense when you're traversing a directory of files, but less sense when the files are abstracted away - as they are on the documentation website.
This PR changes the links to various documentation pages to something that fits better into the surrounding sentence, as you would when making any hyperlink on the web.
This is to help with performance, where trying to connect to thousands
of hosts at once can consume a lot of CPU (due to TLS etc).

A few things here:
* Build the debs for single distro for each PR, so that we can see if it breaks. Do the same for develop. Building all the debs ties up the GHA workers for ages.
* Stop building the debs for release branches. Again, it takes ages, and I don't think anyone is actually going to stop and look at them. We'll know they are working when we make an RC.
* Change the configs so that if we manually cancel a workflow, it actually does something.
Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.

* Upsert redactions in case they already exists
Occasionally, in combination with retention, redactions aren't deleted
from the database whenever they are due for deletion. The server will
eventually try to backfill the deleted events and trip over the already
existing redaction events.
Switching to an UPSERT for those events allows us to recover from there
situations. The retention code still needs fixing but that is outside of
my current comfort zone on this code base.
This is related to #8707 where the error was discussed already.

* Also purge redactions when purging events
Previously redacints where left behind leading to backfilling issues

Because modules might send extra state events when processing an event (e.g. matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#100), and in some cases these extra events might get dropped if we don't recalculate the initial event's auth.
this was a typo introduced in #10282. We don't want to end up doing the
`replace_stream_ordering_column` update after anything that comes up in
migration 60/03.
The presence router docs include some sample homeserver config. At some point we changed the name of the [config option](859dc05b36/docs/sample_config.yaml (L104-L113)), but forgot to update the docs.
I've also added `presence.enabled: true` to the example, as that's the new way to enable presence (the `presence_enabled` option has been deprecated).
Fixes#9490
This will break a couple of SyTest that are expecting failures to be added to the response of a federation /send, which obviously doesn't happen now that things are asynchronous.
Two drawbacks:
Currently there is no logic to handle any events left in the staging area after restart, and so they'll only be handled on the next incoming event in that room. That can be fixed separately.
We now only process one event per room at a time. This can be fixed up further down the line.
* Move background update names out to a separate class
`EventsBackgroundUpdatesStore` gets inherited and we don't really want to
further pollute the namespace.
* Migrate stream_ordering to a bigint
* changelog
Currently when a new build of the docs is created, an `index.html` file does not exist. Typically this would be generated from a`docs/README.md` file - which we have - however we're currently using [docs/README.md](394673055d/docs/README.md) to explain the docs and point to the website. It is not part of the content of the website. So we end up not having an `index.html` file, which will result in a 404 page if one tries to navigate to `https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/<docs_version>/index.html`.
This isn't a really problem for the default version of the documentation (currently `develop`), as [navigating to the top-level root](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/) of the website (without specifying a version) will [redirect](a77e6925f2/index.html (L2)) you to the Welcome and Overview page of the `develop` docs version.
However, ideally once we add a GUI for switching between versions, we'll want to send the user to `matrix-org.github.io/synapse/<version>/index.html`, which currently isn't generated.
This PR modifies the CI that builds the docs to simply copy the rendered [Welcome & Overview page](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/welcome_and_overview.html) to `index.html`.
The idea here is to stop people sending things that aren't joins/leaves/knocks through these endpoints: previously you could send anything you liked through them. I wasn't able to find any security holes from doing so, but it doesn't sound like a good thing.
This implements refresh tokens, as defined by MSC2918
This MSC has been implemented client side in Hydrogen Web: vector-im/hydrogen-web#235
The basics of the MSC works: requesting refresh tokens on login, having the access tokens expire, and using the refresh token to get a new one.

This PR:
* Converts UPGRADE.rst to markdown and moves the contents into the `docs/` directory.
* Updates the contents of UPGRADE.rst to point to the website instead.
* Updates links around the codebase that point to UPGRADE.rst.
`pandoc` + some manual editing was used to convert from RST to md.
* rename major/minor into the right semver terminology minor/patch (since this was something that got me very confused the first couple of times I've used the script)
* name the release branch based on the new version, not the previous one
Required some fixes due to merge conflicts with #6739, but nothing too hairy. The first commit is the same as the original (after merge conflict resolution) then two more for compatibility with the latest sync code.
If a room is remote and we don't have a user in it, always try to join it. It might fail if the room is invite-only, but we don't have a user to invite with, so at this point it's the best we can do.
Fixes#10233 (at least to some extent)
* Drop Origin & Accept from Access-Control-Allow-Headers value
This change drops the Origin and Accept header names from the value of the
Access-Control-Allow-Headers response header sent by Synapse. Per the CORS
protocol, it’s not necessary or useful to include those header names.
Details:
Per-spec at https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-header-name, Origin
is a “forbidden header name” set by the browser and that frontend
JavaScript code is never allowed to set.
So the value of Access-Control-Allow-Headers isn’t relevant to Origin or
in general to other headers set by the browser itself — the browser
never ever consults the Access-Control-Allow-Headers value to confirm
that it’s OK for the request to include an Origin header.
And per-spec at https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#cors-safelisted-request-header,
Accept is a “CORS-safelisted request-header”, which means that browsers
allow requests to contain the Accept header regardless of whether the
Access-Control-Allow-Headers value contains "Accept".
So it’s unnecessary for the Access-Control-Allow-Headers to explicitly
include Accept. Browsers will not perform a CORS preflight for requests
containing an Accept request header.

Implemented config option sso.update_profile_information to keep user's display name in sync with the SSO displayname.

We were repeatedly looking up a config option in a loop (using the
unclassed config style), which is expensive enough that it can cause
large CPU usage.
An accidental mis-ordering of operations during #6739 technically allowed an incoming knock event over federation in before checking it against any configured Third Party Access Rules modules.
This PR corrects that by performing the TPAR check *before* persisting the event.
This PR will run a new "Deploy release-specific documentation" job whenever a push to a branch name matching `release-v*` occurs. Doing so will create/add to a folder named `vX.Y` on the `gh-pages` branch. Doing so will allow us to build up `major.minor` releases of the docs as we release Synapse.
This is especially useful for having a mechanism for keeping around documentation of old/removed features (for those running older versions of Synapse), without needing to clutter the latest copy of the docs.
After a [discussion](https://matrix.to/#/!XaqDhxuTIlvldquJaV:matrix.org/$rKmkBmQle8OwTlGcoyu0BkcWXdnHW3_oap8BMgclwIY?via=matrix.org&via=vector.modular.im&via=envs.net) in #synapse-dev, we wanted to use tags to trigger the documentation deployments, which I agreed with. However, I soon realised that the bash-foo required to turn a tag of `v1.2.3rc1` into `1.2` was a lot more complex than the branch's `release-v1.2`. So, I've gone with the latter for simplicity.
In the future we'll have some UI on the website to switch between versions, but for now you can simply just change 'develop' to 'v1.2' in the URL.
This could cause a minor data leak if someone defined a non-restricted join rule
with an allow key or used a restricted join rule in an older room version, but this is
unlikely.
Additionally this starts adding unit tests to the spaces summary handler.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10030.
We were expecting milliseconds where we should have provided a value in seconds.
The impact of this bug isn't too bad. The code is intended to count the number of remote servers that the homeserver can see and report that as a metric. This metric is supposed to run initially 1 second after server startup, and every 60s as well. Instead, it ran 1,000 seconds after server startup, and every 60s after startup.
This fix allows for the correct metrics to be collected immediately, as well as preventing a random collection 1,000s in the future after startup.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.
This doc is short but a useful guide to what the request log lines mean.

* Trace event persistence
When we persist a batch of events, set the parent opentracing span to the that
from the request, so that we can trace all the way in.
* changelog
* When we force tracing, set a baggage item
... so that we can check again later.
* Link in both directions between persist_events spans
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
Add 'federation_ip_range_whitelist'. This allows backwards-compatibility, If 'federation_ip_range_blacklist' is set. Otherwise 'ip_range_whitelist' will be used for federation servers.

This is the first of two PRs which seek to address #8518. This first PR lays the groundwork by extending ResponseCache; a second PR (#10158) will update the SyncHandler to actually use it, and fix the bug.
The idea here is that we allow the callback given to ResponseCache.wrap to decide whether its result should be cached or not. We do that by (optionally) passing a ResponseCacheContext into it, which it can modify.

This is essentially an implementation of the proposal made at https://hackmd.io/@richvdh/BJYXQMQHO, though the details have ended up looking slightly different.
This implements similar behavior to sytest where a matching branch is used,
if one exists. This is useful when needing to modify both application code
and tests at the same time. The following rules are used to find a matching
complement branch:
1. Search for the branch name of the pull request. (E.g. feature/foo.)
2. Search for the base branch of the pull request. (E.g. develop or release-vX.Y.)
3. Search for the reference branch of the commit. (E.g. master or release-vX.Y.)
4. Fallback to 'master', the default complement branch name.
Spawned from missing messages we were seeing on `matrix.org` from a
federated Gtiter bridged room, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2770.
The underlying issue in Synapse is tracked by https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10066
where the message and join event race and the message is `soft_failed` before the
`join` event reaches the remote federated server.
Less soft_failed events = better and usually this should only trigger for events
where people are doing bad things and trying to fuzz and fake everything.
This PR updates the build tags that we perform Complement runs with to match our [buildkite pipeline](618b3e90bc/synapse/pipeline.yml (L570)), as well as adding `msc2403` (as it will be required once #9359 is merged). Build tags are what we use to determine which tests to run in Complement (really it determines which test files are compiled into the final binary).
I haven't put in a comment about updating the buildkite side here, as we've decided to migrate fully to GitHub Actions anyhow.
