Kill off deprecated "config-on-the-fly" docker mode (#6918)

Browse source 
Lots of people seem to get confused by this mode, and it's been deprecated
since Synapse 1.1.0. It's time for it to go.

## Legacy dynamic configuration file support
For backwards-compatibility only, the docker image supports creating a dynamic
configuration file based on environment variables. This is now deprecated, but
is enabled when the `SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME` variable is set (and `generate` is
not given).
The docker image used to support creating a dynamic configuration file based
on environment variables. This is no longer supported, and an error will be
raised if you try to run synapse without a config file.
To migrate from a dynamic configuration file to a static one, run the docker
It is, however, possible to generate a static configuration file based on
the environment variables that were previously used. To do this, run the docker
container once with the environment variables set, and `migrate_config`

This will generate the same configuration file as the legacy mode used, but
will store it in `/data/homeserver.yaml` instead of a temporary location. You
can then use it as shown above at [Running synapse](#running-synapse).
This will generate the same configuration file as the legacy mode used, and

[Running synapse](#running-synapse).
Note that the defaults used in this configuration file may be different to
those when generating a new config file with `generate`: for example, TLS is
enabled by default in this mode. You are encouraged to inspect the generated
configuration file and edit it to ensure it meets your needs.
## Building the image
If you need to build the image from a Synapse checkout, use the following `docker
build` command from the repo's root:
```
docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
```
