Install the optional dependencies into the debian package (#4325)

since #4298, the optional dependencies are no longer installed with a simple
`pip install .`, which meant that they were not being included in the debian
package.

The easy fix to that is dh_virtualenv --extras, but that needs dh_virtualenv
1.1...

+Synapse can now have its conditional/extra dependencies installed by pip. This functionality can be used by using `pip install matrix-synapse[feature]`, where feature is a comma separated list with the possible values "email.enable_notifs", "ldap3", "postgres", "saml2", "url_preview", and "test". If you want to install all optional dependencies, you can use "all" instead.
