Update worker docs to update preferred settings for pusher and federation_sender (#14493)
* Fix one typo on line 3700(and apparently do something to other lines, no idea) * Update config_documentation.md with more information about how federation_senders and pushers settings can be handled. Specifically, that the instance map style of config does not require the special other variables that enable and disable functionality and that a single worker CAN be added to the map not only just two or more. * Extra line here for consistency and appearance. * Add link to sygnal repo. * Add deprecation notice to workers.md and point to the newer alternative method of defining this functionality. * Changelog * Correct version number of Synapse the deprecation is happening in. * Update quiet deprecation with simple notice and suggestion.

### `pusher_instances`
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to run multiple [pusher workers](../../workers.md#synapseapppusher),
|
||||
in which case the work is balanced across them. Use this setting to list the pushers by

[`worker_name`](#worker_name). Ensure the main process and all pusher workers are

It is possible to scale the processes that handle sending push notifications to [sygnal](https://github.com/matrix-org/sygnal)
|
||||
and email by running a [`generic_worker`](../../workers.md#synapseappgeneric_worker) and adding it's [`worker_name`](#worker_name) to
|
||||
a `pusher_instances` map. Doing so will remove handling of this function from the main
|
||||
process. Multiple workers can be added to this map, in which case the work is balanced
|
||||
across them. Ensure the main process and all pusher workers are restarted after changing
|
||||
this option.
|
||||
|
||||
If no or only one pusher worker is configured, this setting is not necessary.
|
||||
The main process will send out push notifications by default if you do not disable
|
||||
it by setting [`start_pushers: false`](#start_pushers).
