Some stuff that came up while we were talking about #12173.

* Rewrites the demo documentation to be clearer, accurate, and moves it to our documentation tree.
* Improvements to the demo scripts:
	* `clean.sh` now runs `stop.sh` first to avoid zombie processes.
	* Uses more modern Synapse configuration (and removes some obsolete configuration).
	* Consistently use the HTTP ports for server name, etc.
	* Remove the `demo/etc` directory and place everything into the `demo/808x` directories.

* Two scripts are basically entry_points already
* Move and rename scripts/* to synapse/_scripts/*.py
* Delete sync_room_to_group.pl
* Expose entry points in setup.py
* Update linter script and config
* Fixup scripts & docs mentioning scripts that moved

* Make functions in python deltas optional

It's annoying to always have to write stubs for these.

* Documentation for delta files

* changelog

* Docs: add missing PR submission process how-tos

The documentation says that in order to submit a pull request you have to run the linter and links to [Run the linters](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters).  IMO "Run the linters" should explain that development dependencies are a pre-requisite.

I also included `pip install wheel`  which I had to run inside my virtual environment on ubuntu before I `pip install -e ".[all,dev]"` would succeed.

By scraping Open Graph information from the HTML even
when an autodiscovery endpoint is found. The results are
then combined to capture as much information as possible
from the page.

This reverts commit 158d73eb.

- Use sytest:bionic. Sytest:latest is two years old (do we want
  CI to push out latest at all?) and comes with Python 3.5, which we
  explictly no longer support. The script now runs under PostgreSQL 10
  as a result.
- Advertise script in the docs
- Move pg testing script to scripts-dev directory
- Write to host as the script's exector, not root

A few changes to make it speedier to re-run the tests:

- Create blank DB in the container, not the script, so we don't have to
  `initdb` each time
- Use a named volume to persist the tox environment, so we don't have to
  fetch and install a bunch of packages from PyPI each time

The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).

This also makes more minor refactorings:

* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed
  previews.
* Fixes tests to preview an oEmbed image.

Point to the book where possible, and use hyperlinks to github to refer to files not included in the book.

Add developer documentation to explain room DAG concepts like `outliers` and `state_groups` (#10464)

This is essentially an implementation of the proposal made at https://hackmd.io/@richvdh/BJYXQMQHO, though the details have ended up looking slightly different.
