This is due to compatibility issues with old Python versions.

I'm tempted to remove this section entirely, but it's helpful for admins who are trying to figure out why their Synapse is crashing on start with ACME errors.

This reverts commit e0c01296.

As discussed at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7801#pullrequestreview-444652786, I
don't think this is an improvement.

* Starting with apt 1.6, https support has moved into the main package and apt-transport-https has become a transitional dummy package.

Synapse was added to the ports tree in Nov, 2019 by Renaud Allard (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=157417848805329).
With the release of OpenBSD 6.7 on May 22, 2020 a pre-compiled binary is available as well.

In particular, we depend on `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`, which is only present in
3.5.2.

It turns out that Ubuntu Xenial, despite having a package called `python 3
(3.5.1-3)`, actually has python 3.5.2, so I think this is fine.

update debian installation instructions to recommend installing `virtualenv` instead of `python3-virtualenv` (#6892)

* change debian package from python3-virtualenv to virtualenv

The virtualenv package is needed for the virtualenv command. The
virtualenv package depends on python3-virtualenv (at least since
debian jessie) so there is no need to specify python3-virtualenv
additionally.

Fixes #4901

Add FAQ questions to federate.md. Add a health warning making it clear that the 1711 upgrade FAQ is now out of date.

1.0 upgrade/install notes

* Stop telling people to install the optional dependencies.

They're optional.

Also update the postgres docs a bit for clarity(?)

We don't ship jessie packages, so these were a bit misleading.

* Use packages.matrix.org for packages

See https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/9497 (applies to more than just Olm)

* changelog

Improved federation configuration docs.  Specifically detailing  .well-known and SRV based delegation methods.
