* Pull runtime dep checks into their own module
* Reimplement `check_requirements` using `importlib`
I've tried to make this clearer. We start by working out which of
Synapse's requirements we need to be installed here and now. I was
surprised that there wasn't an easier way to see which packages were
installed by a given extra.
I've pulled out the error messages into functions that deal with "is
this for an extra or not". And I've rearranged the loop over two
different sets of requirements into one loop with a "must be instaled"
flag.
I hope you agree that this is clearer.
* Test cases
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
* Rip out half-implemented m.login.saml2 support
This was implemented in an odd way that left most of the work to the client, in
a way that I really didn't understand. It's going to be a pain to maintain, so
let's start by ripping it out.
* drop undocumented dependency on dateutil
It turns out we were relying on dateutil being pulled in transitively by
pysaml2. There's no need for that bloat.
SYN-287
This requires that HS owners either opt in or out of stats reporting.
When --generate-config is passed, --report-stats must be specified
If an already-generated config is used, and doesn't have the
report_stats key, it is requested to be set.
