Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
This PR adds a new config option to the `push` section of the homeserver config, `group_unread_count_by_room`. By default Synapse will group push notifications by room (so if you have 1000 unread messages, if they lie in 55 rooms, you'll see an unread count on your phone of 55).
However, it is also useful to be able to send out the true count of unread messages if desired. If `group_unread_count_by_room` is set to `false`, then with the above example, one would see an unread count of 1000 (email anyone?).
* Fix outbound federaion with multiple event persisters.
We incorrectly notified federation senders that the minimum persisted
stream position had advanced when we got an `RDATA` from an event
persister.
Notifying of federation senders already correctly happens in the
notifier, so we just delete the offending line.
* Change some interfaces to use RoomStreamToken.
By enforcing use of `RoomStreamTokens` we make it less likely that
people pass in random ints that they got from somewhere random.
`pusher_pool.on_new_notifications` expected a min and max stream ID, however that was not what we were passing in. Instead, let's just pass it the current max stream ID and have it track the last stream ID it got passed.
I believe that it mostly worked as we called the function for every event. However, it would break for events that got persisted out of order, i.e, that were persisted but the max stream ID wasn't incremented as not all preceding events had finished persisting, and push for that event would be delayed until another event got pushed to the effected users.
A lot of the things we log at INFO are now a bit superfluous, so lets
make them DEBUG logs to reduce the amount we log by default.

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.
We start all pushers on start up and immediately start a background
process to fetch push to send. This makes start up incredibly painful
when dealing with many pushers.
Instead, let's do a quick fast DB check to see if there *may* be push to
send and only start the background processes for those pushers. We also
stagger starting up and doing those checks so that we don't try and
handle all pushers at once.
This brings it into line with on_new_notifications and on_new_receipts. It
requires a little bit of hoop-jumping in EmailPusher to load the throttle
params before the first loop.
`on_new_notifications` and `on_new_receipts` in `HttpPusher` and `EmailPusher`
now always return synchronously, so we can remove the `defer.gatherResults` on
their results, and the `run_as_background_process` wrappers can be removed too
because the PusherPool methods will now complete quickly enough.
Each pusher has its own loop which runs for as long as it has work to do. This
should run in its own background thread with its own logcontext, as other
similar loops elsewhere in the system do - which means that CPU usage is
consistently attributed to that loop, rather than to whatever request happened
to start the loop.
There were a bunch of places where we fire off a process to happen in the
background, but don't have any exception handling on it - instead relying on
the unhandled error being logged when the relevent deferred gets
garbage-collected.
This is unsatisfactory for a number of reasons:
- logging on garbage collection is best-effort and may happen some time after
the error, if at all
- it can be hard to figure out where the error actually happened.
- it is logged as a scary CRITICAL error which (a) I always forget to grep for
and (b) it's not really CRITICAL if a background process we don't care about
fails.
So this is an attempt to add exception handling to everything we fire off into
the background.
The redact_content option never worked because it read the wrong config
section. The PR introducing it
(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/2301) had feedback suggesting the
name be changed to not re-use the term 'redact' but this wasn't
incorporated.
This reanmes the option to give it a less confusing name, and also
means that people who've set the redact_content option won't suddenly
see a behaviour change when upgrading synapse, but instead can set
include_content if they want to.
This PR also updates the wording of the config comment to clarify
that this has no effect on event_id_only push.
