docs: add note about PYTHONMALLOC for accurate jemalloc memory tracking (#17709)
Added a note in the documentation suggesting that users may set
`PYTHONMALLOC=malloc` when using `jemalloc`. This allows jemalloc to
track memory usage more accurately by bypassing Python's internal
small-object allocator (`pymalloc`), helping to ensure that
`cache_autotuning` functions as expected.

This doc change aims to provide more clarity for users configuring
jemalloc with Synapse.


Based on:

Remove old R30 because R30v2 supercedes it (#10428)
R30v2 has been out since 2021-07-19 (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10332)
and we started collecting stats on 2021-08-16. Since it's been over a year now
(almost 2 years), this is enough grace period for us to now rip it out.

Document advising against publicly exposing the Admin API and provide a usage example (#13231)
* Admin API request explanation improved

Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.

* Admin API request explanation improved

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update changelog. Reword prose.
