==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
for more details.

Hopefully this means that exceptions raised due to truncated JSON
get a sensible logging context and stack.

* Refactor HTTP response size limits
Rather than passing a separate `max_response_size` down the stack, make it an
attribute of the `parser`.
* Allow bigger responses on `federation/v1/state`
`/state` can return huge responses, so we need to handle that.
The main differences are:
- values with delimiters (such as colons) should be quoted, so always
quote the origin, since it could contain a colon followed by a port
number
- should allow more than one space after "X-Matrix"
- quoted values with backslash-escaped characters should be unescaped
- names should be case insensitive
Enable cancellation of `GET /rooms/$room_id/members`,
`GET /rooms/$room_id/state` and
`GET /rooms/$room_id/state/$state_key/*` requests.

Both `RestServlet`s and `BaseFederationServlet`s register their handlers
with `HttpServer.register_paths` / `JsonResource.register_paths`. Update
`JsonResource` to respect the `@cancellable` flag on handlers registered
in this way.
Although `ReplicationEndpoint` also registers itself using
`register_paths`, it does not pass the handler method that would have the
`@cancellable` flag directly, and so needs separate handling.

`DirectServeHtmlResource` and `DirectServeJsonResource` both inherit
from `_AsyncResource`. These classes expect to be subclassed with
`_async_render_*` methods.
This commit has no effect on `JsonResource`, despite inheriting from
`_AsyncResource`. `JsonResource` has its own `_async_render` override
which will need to be updated separately.
Signed-off-by: Sean Quah <seanq@element.io>
All async request processing goes through `_AsyncResource`, so this is
the only place where a `Deferred` needs to be captured for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the same isn't true for determining whether a request
can be cancelled. Each of `RestServlet`, `BaseFederationServlet`,
`DirectServe{Html,Json}Resource` and `ReplicationEndpoint` have
different wrappers around the method doing the request handling and they
all need to be handled separately.

getClientIP was deprecated in Twisted 18.4.0, which also added
getClientAddress. The Synapse minimum version for Twisted is
currently 18.9.0, so all supported versions have the new API.
The status code of requests must always be set, regardless of client
disconnection, otherwise they will always be logged as 200!.

Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
* Pull out query param types to `synapse.http.types`
* Use QueryParams everywhere
* Simplify `encode_query_args`
* Add annotation which would have caught #12410
This is an endpoint that we have server-side support for, but no client-side support. It's going to be useful for resyncing partial-stated rooms, so let's introduce it.
This implements an allow list for content types for which Synapse will attempt URL preview. If a URL resolves to a resource with a content type which isn't in the list, the download will terminate immediately.
This makes sense given that Synapse would never successfully generate a URL preview for such files in the first place, and helps prevent issues with streaming media servers, such as #8302.

* Wrap `auth.get_user_by_req` in an opentracing span
give `get_user_by_req` its own opentracing span, since it can result in a
non-trivial number of sub-spans which it is useful to group together.
This requires a bit of reorganisation because it also sets some tags (and may
force tracing) on the servlet span.
* Emit opentracing span for encoding json responses
This can be a significant time sink.
* Rename all sync spans with a prefix
* Write an opentracing span for encoding sync response
* opentracing span to group generate_room_entries
* opentracing spans within sync.encode_response
* changelog
* Use the `trace` decorator instead of context managers
* remove `start_active_span_from_request`
Instead, pull out a separate function, `span_context_from_request`, to extract
the parent span, which we can then pass into `start_active_span` as
normal. This seems to be clearer all round.
* Remove redundant tags from `incoming-federation-request`
These are all wrapped up inside a parent span generated in AsyncResource, so
there's no point duplicating all the tags that are set there.
* Leave request spans open until the request completes
It may take some time for the response to be encoded into JSON, and that JSON
to be streamed back to the client, and really we want that inside the top-level
span, so let's hand responsibility for closure to the SynapseRequest.
* opentracing logs for HTTP request events

Client API endpoint. This will also go and fetch from the federation API endpoint if unable to find an event locally or we found an extremity with possibly a closer event we don't know about.

* Teach MyPy that the sentinel context is False
This means that if `ctx: LoggingContextOrSentinel`
then `bool(ctx)` narrows us to `ctx:LoggingContext`, which is a really
neat find!
* Annotate RequestMetrics
- Raise errors for sentry if we use the sentinel context
- Ensure we don't raise an error and carry on, but not recording stats
- Include stack trace in the error case to lower Sean's blood pressure
* Make mypy pass for synapse.http.request_metrics
* Make synapse.http.connectproxyclient pass mypy

Updating mypy past version 0.9 means that third-party stubs are no-longer distributed with typeshed. See http://mypy-lang.blogspot.com/2021/06/mypy-0900-released.html for details.
We therefore pull in stub packages in setup.py
Additionally, some modules that we were previously ignoring import failures for now have stubs. So let's use them.
The rest of this change consists of fixups to make the newer mypy + stubs pass CI.

Currently we use `JsonEncoder.iterencode` to write JSON responses, which ensures that we don't block the main reactor thread when encoding huge objects. The downside to this is that `iterencode` falls back to using a pure Python encoder that is *much* less efficient and can easily burn a lot of CPU for huge responses. To fix this, while still ensuring we don't block the reactor loop, we encode the JSON on a threadpool using the standard `JsonEncoder.encode` functions, which is backed by a C library.
Doing so, however, requires `respond_with_json` to have access to the reactor, which it previously didn't. There are two ways of doing this:
1. threading through the reactor object, which is a bit fiddly as e.g. `DirectServeJsonResource` doesn't currently take a reactor, but is exposed to modules and so is a PITA to change; or
2. expose the reactor in `SynapseRequest`, which requires updating a bunch of servlet types.
I went with the latter as that is just a mechanical change, and I think makes sense as a request already has a reactor associated with it (via its http channel).
