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.
Server Notices use a special room which the user can't dismiss. They are
created on demand when some other bit of the code calls send_notice.
(This doesn't actually do much yet becuse we don't call send_notice anywhere)
We extract the storage-independent bits of the state group resolution out to a
separate functiom, and stick it in a new handler, in preparation for its use
from the storage layer.
Non-functional refactoring to move set_password. This means that we'll be able
to properly deactivate devices and access tokens without introducing a
dependency loop.
Non-functional refactoring to move deactivate_account. This means that we'll be
able to properly deactivate devices and access tokens without introducing a
dependency loop.
This avoids the scenario where we have four different PreviewUrlResources
configured on a single app, each of which have their own caches and cache
clearing jobs.
