This requires a new config option to specify which media repo should be
responsible for running background jobs to e.g. clear out expired URL
preview caches.

Just a simple typo fix.

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431

Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.

Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637

Based on #7637

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3177

* Clarify how to authenticate
* path params are not the same thing as query params
* Fix documentation for `/_synapse/admin/v2/users/<user_id>`

- Admin is able to
  - change displaynames
  - delete devices
  - list devices
  - get device informations

Fixes #7330

docs, default configs, comments. Nothing very significant.

* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string

* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource

  * use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
    (giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)

  * do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
    layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.

'client_auth_method' commented out value was erronously 'client_auth_basic',
when code and docstring says it should be 'client_secret_basic'.

This mostly applise to `*stateGroupCache*` and co.

Broke in #6391.

consistency ftw

also a small clarification to nginx

The specific headers that are passed using this new configuration format
are Host and X-Forwarded-For, which should be all that's required.

Note that for production another matcher should be added in the first
section to properly handle the base_url lookup:
reverse_proxy /.well-known/matrix/* http://localhost:8008

Add dummy_events_threshold which allows configuring the number of forward extremities a room needs for Synapse to send forward extremities in it.

a couple of cleanups

This is primarily for allowing us to send those commands from workers, but for now simply allows us to ignore echoed RDATA/POSITION commands that we sent (we get echoes of sent commands when using redis). Currently we log a WARNING on the master process every time we receive an echoed RDATA.

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere and means that you suddenly start losing metrics without any obvious reason when you go from monolith to workers (e.g. #7312).
