It turns out that no clients rely on server-side aggregation of `m.annotation`
relationships: it's just not very useful as currently implemented.
It's also non-trivial to calculate.
I want to remove it from MSC2677, so to keep the implementation in line, let's
remove it here.

It's important that collections returned from `@cached` methods are not
modified, otherwise future retrievals from the cache will return the
modified collection.
This applies to the return values from `@cached` methods and the values
inside the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods. It's not
necessary for the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods
themselves to be read-only.

The `parse_enum` helper pulls an enum value from the query string
(by delegating down to the parse_string helper with values generated
from the enum).
This is used to pull out "f" and "b" in most places and then we thread
the resulting Direction enum throughout more code.

Or else frozensets are excluded. This will be useful in an upcoming

accept `StrCollection` instead.
* `rooms_to_exclude` -> `rooms_to_exclude_globally`
I am about to make use of this exclusion mechanism to exclude rooms for
a specific user and a specific sync. This rename helps to clarify the
distinction between the global config and the rooms to exclude for a
specific sync.
* Better function names for internal sync methods
* Track a list of excluded rooms on SyncResultBuilder
I plan to feed a list of partially stated rooms for this sync to ignore
* Exclude partial state rooms during eager sync
using the mechanism established in the previous commit
* Track un-partial-state stream in sync tokens
So that we can work out which rooms have become fully-stated during a
given sync period.
* Fix mutation of `@cached` return value
This was fouling up a complement test added alongside this PR.
Excluding a room would mean the set of forgotten rooms in the cache
would be extended. This means that room could be erroneously considered
forgotten in the future.
Introduced in #12310, Synapse 1.57.0. I don't think this had any
user-visible side effects (until now).
* SyncResultBuilder: track rooms to force as newly joined
Similar plan as before. We've omitted rooms from certain sync responses;
now we establish the mechanism to reintroduce them into future syncs.

* Force un-partial-stated rooms to be newly-joined
for eager incremental syncs only, provided they're still fully stated

Two parts to this:
* Bundle the whole of the replacement with any edited events. This is backwards-compatible so I haven't put it behind a flag.
* Optionally, inhibit server-side replacement of edited events. This has scope to break things, so it is currently disabled by default.
It doesn't seem valid that HTML entities should appear in
the title field of oEmbed responses, but a popular WordPress
plug-in seems to do it.
There should not be harm in unescaping these.

it was being treated as Any (and thus unchecked) it was being used
incorrectly in a few places.

This implements a fake OIDC server, which intercepts calls to the HTTP client.
Improves accuracy of tests by covering more internal methods.
One particular example was the ID token validation, which previously mocked.
This uncovered an incorrect dependency: Synapse actually requires at least
authlib 0.15.1, not 0.14.0.

Fix MSC3030 `/timestamp_to_event` endpoint returning `outliers` that it has no idea whether are near a gap or not (and therefore unable to determine whether it's actually the closest event). The reason Synapse doesn't know whether an `outlier` is next to a gap is because our gap checks rely on entries in the `event_edges`, `event_forward_extremeties`, and `event_backward_extremities` tables which is [not the case for `outliers`](2c63cdcc3f/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md (outliers)).
Also fixes MSC3030 Complement `can_paginate_after_getting_remote_event_from_timestamp_to_event_endpoint` test flake. Although this acted flakey in Complement, if `sync_partial_state` raced and beat us before `/timestamp_to_event`, then even if we retried the failing `/context` request it wouldn't work until we made this Synapse change. With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13944
### Why did this fail before? Why was it flakey?
Sleuthing the server logs on the [CI failure](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/actions/runs/3149623842/jobs/5121449357#step:5:5805), it looks like `hs2:/timestamp_to_event` found `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` event locally. Then when we went and asked for it via `/context`, since it's an `outlier`, it was filtered out of the results -> `You don't have permission to access that event.`
This is reproducible when `sync_partial_state` races and persists `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` before we evaluate `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`. To consistently reproduce locally, just add a delay at the [start of `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`](cb20b885cb/synapse/handlers/room.py (L1470-L1496)) so it always runs after `sync_partial_state` completes.
```py
from twisted.internet import task as twisted_task
d = twisted_task.deferLater(self.hs.get_reactor(), 3.5)
await d
```
In a run where it passes, on `hs2`, `get_event_for_timestamp(...)` finds a different event locally which is next to a gap and we request from a closer one from `hs1` which gets backfilled. And since the backfilled event is not an `outlier`, it's returned as expected during `/context`.
With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
The callers either set a default limit or manually handle a None-limit
later on (by setting a default value).
Update the callers to always instantiate PaginationConfig with a default
limit and then assume the limit is non-None.
Stabilize the threads API (MSC3856) by supporting (only) the v1
path for the endpoint.
This also marks the API as safe for workers since it is a read-only
API.
Implement the /threads endpoint from MSC3856.
This is currently unstable and behind an experimental configuration
flag.
It includes a background update to backfill data, results from
the /threads endpoint will be partial until that finishes.
Attempt to parse any valid information from an oEmbed response
(instead of bailing at the first unexpected data). This should allow
for more partial oEmbed data to be returned, resulting in better /
more URL previews, even if those URL previews are only partial.
Fixes two related bugs:
* The handling of `[null]` for a `room_types` filter was incorrect.
* The ordering of arguments when providing both a network tuple
and room type field was incorrect.
Keep the old behavior (of including the original_event field) for any
requests to the /unstable version of the endpoint, but do not include
the field when the /v1 version is used.
This should avoid new clients from depending on this field, but will
not help with current dependencies.
MSC3316 declares that both /rooms/{roomId}/send and /rooms/{roomId}/state
should accept a ts parameter for appservices. This change expands support
to /state and adds tests.
This PR begins work on batching up events during the creation of a room. The PR splits out the creation and sending/persisting of the events. The first three events in the creation of the room-creating the room, joining the creator to the room, and the power levels event are sent sequentially, while the subsequent events are created and collected to be sent at the end of the function. This is currently done by appending them to a list and then iterating over the list to send, the next step (after this PR) would be to send and persist the collected events as a batch.
Since MSC3715 has passed FCP, the stable parameter can be used.
This currently falls back to the unstable parameter if the stable
parameter is not provided (and MSC3715 support is enabled in
the configuration).
This fixes a bug where the `/relations` API with `dir=f` would
skip the first item of each page (except the first page), causing
incomplete data to be returned to the client.
Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
This adds support for the stable identifiers of MSC2285 while
continuing to support the unstable identifiers behind the configuration
flag. These will be removed in a future version.

## New error code and status
### Before
Previously, we returned a `404` for `/thumbnail` which isn't even in the spec.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
"error": "Not found [b'hs1', b'tefQeZhmVxoiBfuFQUKRzJxc']"
}
```
### After
What does the spec say?
> 400: The request does not make sense to the server, or the server cannot thumbnail the content. For example, the client requested non-integer dimensions or asked for negatively-sized images.
>
> *-- https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#get_matrixmediav3thumbnailservernamemediaid*
Now with this PR, we respond with a `400` when we don't have thumbnails to serve and we explain why we might not have any thumbnails.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_UNKNOWN",
"error": "Cannot find any thumbnails for the requested media ([b'example.com', b'12345']). This might mean the media is not a supported_media_format=(image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/webp, image/gif, image/png) or that thumbnailing failed for some other reason. (Dynamic thumbnails are disabled on this server.)",
}
```
> Cannot find any thumbnails for the requested media ([b'example.com', b'12345']). This might mean the media is not a supported_media_format=(image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/webp, image/gif, image/png) or that thumbnailing failed for some other reason. (Dynamic thumbnails are disabled on this server.)
---
We still respond with a 404 in many other places. But we can iterate on those later and maybe keep some in some specific places after spec updates/clarification: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1122
We can also iterate on the bugs where Synapse doesn't thumbnail when it should in other issues/PRs.
There is a corner in `_check_event_auth` (long known as "the weird corner") where, if we get an event with auth_events which don't match those we were expecting, we attempt to resolve the diffence between our state and the remote's with a state resolution.
This isn't specced, and there's general agreement we shouldn't be doing it.
However, it turns out that the faster-joins code was relying on it, so we need to introduce something similar (but rather simpler) for that.
* Drop support for delegating email validation
Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It

Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate
* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`

Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.

==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.

Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
Parse the `m.relates_to` event content field (which describes relations)
in a single place, this is used during:
* Event persistence.
* Validation of the Client-Server API.
* Fetching bundled aggregations.
* Processing of push rules.
Each of these separately implement the logic and each made slightly
different assumptions about what was valid. Some had minor / potential
bugs.
Fixes a regression from 8b309adb43 (#11660)
and b65acead42 (#11752) where events which
themselves were an edit or an annotation could have bundled aggregations calculated,
which is not allowed.
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
* `m.login.jwt`, which was never specced and has been deprecated
since Synapse 1.16.0. (`org.matrix.login.jwt` can be used instead.)
* `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service`, which was
stabilized as part of the Matrix spec v1.2 release.
