While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
This allows support users to be created even on MAU limits via
the admin API. Support users are excluded from MAU after creation,
so it makes sense to exclude them in creation - except if the
whole host is in disabled state.

First of all, let's get rid of `TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_HTTP_STATUS`. It was a hack we
did at one point when it was possible to return either a 403 or a 401 if the
creds were missing. We always return a 401 in these cases now (thankfully), so
it's not needed.
Let's also stop abusing `AuthError` for these cases. Honestly they have nothing
that relates them to the other places that `AuthError` is used, other than the
fact that they are loosely under the 'Auth' banner. It makes no sense for them
to share exception classes.
Instead, let's add a couple of new exception classes: `InvalidClientTokenError`
and `MissingClientTokenError`, for the `M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN` and `M_MISSING_TOKEN`
cases respectively - and an `InvalidClientCredentialsError` base class for the
two of them.
this is only used in one place, so it's clearer if we inline it and reduce the
API surface.
Also, fixes a buglet where we would create an access token even if we were
about to block the user (we would never return the AT, so the user could never
use it, but it was still created and added to the db.)

Allow for the creation of a support user.
A support user can access the server, join rooms, interact with other users, but does not appear in the user directory nor does it contribute to monthly active user limits.
Fixes a bug introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1783 which
meant that single backslashes were not allowed in event field filters.
The intention here is to allow single-backslashes, but disallow
double-backslashes.
