Change sample config's postgres user to synapse_user ( #7889 )
...
The [postgres setup docs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/postgres.md#set-up-database ) recommend setting up your database with user `synapse_user`.
However, uncommenting the postgres defaults in the sample config leave you with user `synapse`.
This PR switches the sample config to recommend `synapse_user`. Took a me a second to figure this out, so assume this will beneficial to others.

Add delete room admin endpoint ( #7613 )
...
The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from server
and block these rooms.
`DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>`
It is a combination and improvement of "[Shutdown room](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/shutdown_room.md )" and "[Purge room](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/purge_room.md )" API.
Fixes : #6425
It also fixes a bug in [synapse/storage/data_stores/main/room.py](synapse/storage/data_stores/main/room.py) in ` get_room_with_stats`.
It should return `None` if the room is unknown. But it returns an `IndexError`.

Stop the master relaying USER_SYNC for other workers ( #7318 )

Long story short: if we're handling presence on the current worker, we shouldn't be sending USER_SYNC commands over replication.
In an attempt to figure out what is going on here, I ended up refactoring some bits of the presencehandler code, so the first 4 commits here are non-functional refactors to move this code slightly closer to sanity. (There's still plenty to do here :/). Suggest reviewing individual commits.
Fixes (I hope) #7257 .

endpoints so that they return a 200 and a fake sid if the 3PID was/was
not found associated with an account (depending on the endpoint),
instead of an error.

Remove usage of "conn_id" for presence. ( #7128 )
...
* Remove `conn_id` usage for UserSyncCommand.
Each tcp replication connection is assigned a "conn_id", which is used
to give an ID to a remotely connected worker. In a redis world, there
will no longer be a one to one mapping between connection and instance,
so instead we need to replace such usages with an ID generated by the
remote instances and included in the replicaiton commands.
This really only effects UserSyncCommand.
* Add CLEAR_USER_SYNCS command that is sent on shutdown.
This should help with the case where a synchrotron gets restarted
gracefully, rather than rely on 5 minute timeout.

Move catchup of replication streams to worker. ( #7024 )
...
This changes the replication protocol so that the server does not send down `RDATA` for rows that happened before the client connected. Instead, the server will send a `POSITION` and clients then query the database (or master out of band) to get up to date.

Clean up some LoggingContext stuff ( #7120 )
...
* Pull Sentinel out of LoggingContext
... and drop a few unnecessary references to it
* Factor out LoggingContext.current_context
move `current_context` and `set_context` out to top-level functions.
Mostly this means that I can more easily trace what's actually referring to
LoggingContext, but I think it's generally neater.
* move copy-to-parent into `stop`
this really just makes `start` and `stop` more symetric. It also means that it
behaves correctly if you manually `set_log_context` rather than using the
context manager.
* Replace `LoggingContext.alive` with `finished`
Turn `alive` into `finished` and make it a bit better defined.

Synapse 1.12.0 (2020-03-23)
...
===========================
No significant changes since 1.12.0rc1.
Debian packages and Docker images are rebuilt using the latest versions of
dependency libraries, including Twisted 20.3.0. **Please see security advisory
below**.
Security advisory
-----------------
Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is used with a
reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in Twisted 20.3.0, and are
described in
[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108 )
and
[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109 ).
For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling attacks, see
https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn .
We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, and
do not believe that they are exploitable with current versions of any reverse
proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that all Synapse administrators ensure that
they have the latest versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their
installation remains secure.
* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/ ) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
packages from
`matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages )
should ensure that they have version 1.12.0 installed: these images include
Twisted 20.3.0.
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source )
should upgrade Twisted within their virtualenv by running:
```sh
<path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'Twisted>=20.3.0'
```
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
consult the information from their distributions.
The `matrix.org` Synapse instance was not vulnerable to these vulnerabilities.
Advance notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
----------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the default `git` branch for Synapse is `master`, which tracks the
latest release.
After the release of Synapse 1.13.0, we intend to change this default to
`develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with common
practice and modern `git` usage.
Although we try to keep `develop` in a stable state, there may be occasions
where regressions creep in. Developers and distributors who have scripts which
run builds using the default branch of `Synapse` should therefore consider
pinning their scripts to `master`.

==============================
Features
--------
- Changes related to room alias management ([MSC2432](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2432 )):

- Check that server_name is correctly set before running database updates. ([\#6982](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6982 ))
- Break down monthly active users by `appservice_id` and emit via Prometheus. ([\#7030](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7030 ))

Bugfixes
