When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
Replaces DEFAULT_ROOM_VERSION constant with a method that first checks the config, then returns a hardcoded value if the option is not present.
That hardcoded value is now located in the server.py config file.
If account validity is enabled in the server's configuration, this job will run at startup as a background job and will stick an expiration date to any registered account missing one.

Since we're not doing refresh tokens any more, we should start killing off the
dead code paths. /tokenrefresh itself is a bit of a thornier subject, since
there might be apps out there using it, but we can at least not generate
refresh tokens on new logins.
This doesn't cover *all* of the registration flows, but it does cover the most
common ones: in particular: shared_secret registration, appservice
registration, and normal user/pass registration.
Pull device_id from the registration parameters. Register the device in the
devices table. Associate the device with the returned access and refresh
tokens. Profit.
* `RegistrationHandler.appservice_register` no longer issues an access token:
instead it is left for the caller to do it. (There are two of these, one in
`synapse/rest/client/v1/register.py`, which now simply calls
`AuthHandler.issue_access_token`, and the other in
`synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, which is covered below).
* In `synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, move the generation of
access_tokens into `_create_registration_details`. This means that the normal
flow no longer needs to call `AuthHandler.issue_access_token`; the
shared-secret flow can tell `RegistrationHandler.register` not to generate a
token; and the appservice flow continues to work despite the above change.
This is meant to be an *almost* non-functional change, with the exception that
it fixes what looks a lot like a bug in that it only calls
`auth_handler.add_threepid` and `add_pusher` once instead of three times.
The idea is to move the generation of the `access_token` out of
`registration_handler.register`, because `access_token`s now require a
device_id, and we only want to generate a device_id once registration has been
successful.
This follows the same flows-based flow as regular registration, but as
the only implemented flow has no requirements, it auto-succeeds. In the
future, other flows (e.g. captcha) may be required, so clients should
treat this like the regular registration flow choices.
A couple of weird caveats:
* If we can't validate your macaroon, we fall back to checking that
your access token is in the DB, and ignoring the failure
* Even if we can validate your macaroon, we still have to hit the DB to
get the access token ID, which we pretend is a device ID all over the
codebase.
This mostly adds the interesting code, and points out the two pieces we
need to delete (and necessary conditions) in order to fix the above
caveats.
Removes device_id and ClientInfo
device_id is never actually written, and the matrix.org DB has no
non-null entries for it. Right now, it's just cluttering up code.
This doesn't remove the columns from the database, because that's
fiddly.
V2 Registration forced everyone (including ASes) to create a password for a
user, when ASes should be able to omit passwords. Also unbreak AS registration
in general which checked too early if the given username was claimed by an AS;
it was checked before knowing if the AS was the one doing the registration! Add
unit tests for AS reg, user reg and disabled_registration flag.
Add logic to map the appservice token to the autogenned appservice user ID.
Add unit tests for all forms of get_user_by_req (user/appservice,
valid/bad/missing tokens)
