* Make lock better handle process being killed

If the process gets killed and restarted (so that it didn't have a
chance to drop its locks gracefully) then there may still be locks in
the DB that are for the same instance that haven't yet timed out but are
safe to delete.

We handle this case by a) checking if the current instance already has
taken out the lock, and b) if not then ignoring locks that are for the
same instance.

* Periodically check for old staged events

This is to protect against other instances dying and their locks timing
out.

* Remove unused Vagrant scripts

* Change package Architecture to any

* Preinstall the wheel package when building venvs.

Addresses the following warnings during Debian builds:

    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for jaeger-client, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for matrix-synapse-ldap3, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for opentracing, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for psycopg2, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for systemd-python, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pympler, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for threadloop, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
    Using legacy 'setup.py install' for thrift, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

* Allow /etc/default/matrix-synapse to be missing

Fixes #11252

I was trying to understand how `cachedList` works, and ended up writing this
extra test. I figure we may as well keep it.

When an event fetcher aborts due to an exception, `_event_fetch_ongoing`
must be decremented, otherwise the event fetcher would never be
replaced. If enough event fetchers were to fail, no more events would be
fetched and requests would get stuck waiting for events.

This makes the typing stream writer config match the other stream writers
that only currently support a single worker.

We don't pin them as we execute them as commands, rather than use them
as libs.

As brought up by @tulir, https://matrix.to/#/!SBYNQlpqkwJzFIdzxI:nevarro.space/$Gwnb2ZvXHc3poYXuBhho0cmoYq4KJ11Jh3m5s8kjNOM?via=nevarro.space&via=beeper.com&via=matrix.org

This use case only works if the user is already joined in the current room state
at the given `?prev_event_id`

This should speed up startup times and generally increase performance of
groups.

Make `check_event_allowed` module API callback not fail open (accept events) when an exception is raised (#11033)

Remove deprecated delete room admin API,
`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete`

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8308

* Docker image: avoid changing user during `generate`

The intention was always that the config files get written as the initial user
(normally root) - only the data directory needs to be writable by Synapse. This
got changed in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5970, but that seems
to have been a mistake.

* Avoid changing user if no explicit UID is given

* changelog
