Split admin API for reported events into a detail and a list view (#8539)
Split admin API for reported events in detail und list view.
API was introduced with #8217 in synapse v.1.21.0.

It makes the list (`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`) less complex and provides a better overview.
The details can be queried with: `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports/<report_id>`.
It is similar to room and users API.

It is a kind of regression in `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`.  `event_json` was removed. But the api was introduced one version before and it is an admin API (not under spec).

Admin APIs

This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin APIs available.

Authenticating as a server admin

Many of the API calls in the admin api will require an access_token for a server admin. (Note that a server admin is distinct from a room admin.)

A user can be marked as a server admin by updating the database directly, e.g.:

UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com';

A new server admin user can also be created using the register_new_matrix_user script.

Finding your user's access_token is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.

Once you have your access_token, to include it in a request, the best option is to add the token to a request header:

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>

Fore more details, please refer to the complete matrix spec documentation.
