Run `isort`, `flake8` and `black` over the `contrib/` directory and `synctl` script. The latter was already being done in CI, but now the linting script does it too.

I made a mistake in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6921 - the quotes break the postgres container's startup script (or docker-compose), which makes initdb fail: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6921#issuecomment-590657154

The mount in the form of ./matrix-config:/etc overwrites the contents of the container /etc folder. Since all valid ca certificates are stored in /etc, the synapse.push.httppusher, for example, cannot validate the certificate from matrix.org.

This reverts commit dc874789.

* update version of black and also fix the mypy config being overridden

Allow Synapse to send registration emails + choose Synapse or an external server to handle 3pid validation (#5987)

This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:

* #5875 
* #5876 
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/891afb57cbdf9867f2848341b29c75d6f35eef5a#diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835 
* #5969 
* #5940

Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.

UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.

This is mostly a documentation change, but also adds a default value for
SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH, so that running from the generated config is the default,
and will Just Work provided your config is in the right place.

This points the reverse links at the intended location.

This setup is a way to manage workers with systemd. It does however not
require workers. You can use this setup without workers. You just have
to make sure that the homeserver is forking and writes its PID file
to the location the service is looking in.

The currently distributed setup in the debian package does not work in
conjunction with workers.

* Adds changelog

* Lets systemd handle the forking

Sets all services to `type=simple` and disables daemonizing on the
synapse side.

* Formats readme to 80 columns per line

* Allows for full restart of all workers

* Changes README to reflect the new setup

* Adds dot to end of changelog file

* Removes surplus word
