Pre-populate room data for quick filtering/sorting in the Sliding Sync
API
Spawning from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17450#discussion_r1697335578
This PR is acting as the Synapse version `N+1` step in the gradual
migration being tracked by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17623
Adding two new database tables:
- `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`: A table for storing room meta data that
the local server is still participating in. The info here can be shared
across all `Membership.JOIN`. Keyed on `(room_id)` and updated when the
relevant room current state changes or a new event is sent in the room.
- `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`: A table for storing a snapshot of
room meta data at the time of the local user's membership. Keyed on
`(room_id, user_id)` and only updated when a user's membership in a room
changes.
Also adds background updates to populate these tables with all of the
existing data.
We want to have the guarantee that if a row exists in the sliding sync
tables, we are able to rely on it (accurate data). And if a row doesn't
exist, we use a fallback to get the same info until the background
updates fill in the rows or a new event comes in triggering it to be
fully inserted. This means we need a couple extra things in place until
we bump `SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` and run the foreground update in the
`N+2` part of the gradual migration. For context on why we can't rely on
the tables without these things see [1].
1. On start-up, block until we clear out any rows for the rooms that
have had events since the max-`stream_ordering` of the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table (compare to max-`stream_ordering` of
the `events` table). For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we can
compare to the max-`stream_ordering` of `local_current_membership`
- This accounts for when someone downgrades their Synapse version and
then upgrades it again. This will ensure that we don't have any
stale/out-of-date data in the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`/`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots` tables
since any new events sent in rooms would have also needed to be written
to the sliding sync tables. For example a new event needs to bump
`event_stream_ordering` in `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table or some
state in the room changing (like the room name). Or another example of
someone's membership changing in a room affecting
`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`.
1. Add another background update that will catch-up with any rows that
were just deleted from the sliding sync tables (based on the activity in
the `events`/`local_current_membership`). The rooms that need
recalculating are added to the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms_to_recalculate` table.
1. Making sure rows are fully inserted. Instead of partially inserting,
we need to check if the row already exists and fully insert all data if
not.
All of this extra functionality can be removed once the
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` is bumped with support for the new sliding sync
tables so people can no longer downgrade (the `N+2` part of the gradual
migration).
<details>
<summary><sup>[1]</sup></summary>
For `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`, since we partially insert rows as state
comes in, we can't rely on the existence of the row for a given
`room_id`. We can't even rely on looking at whether the background
update has finished. There could still be partial rows from when someone
reverted their Synapse version after the background update finished, had
some state changes (or new rooms), then upgraded again and more state
changes happen leaving a partial row.
For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we insert items as a whole
except for the `forgotten` column ~~so we can rely on rows existing and
just need to always use a fallback for the `forgotten` data. We can't
use the `forgotten` column in the table for the same reasons above about
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`.~~ We could have an out-of-date membership
from when someone reverted their Synapse version. (same problems as
outlined for `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` above)

### TODO
- [x] Update `stream_ordering`/`bump_stamp`
- [x] Handle remote invites
- [x] Handle state resets
- [x] Consider adding `sender` so we can filter `LEAVE` memberships and
distinguish from kicks.
- [x] We should add it to be able to tell leaves from kicks
- [x] Consider adding `tombstone` state to help address
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17540
- [x] We should add it `tombstone_successor_room_id`
- [x] Consider adding `forgotten` status to avoid extra
lookup/table-join on `room_memberships`
- [x] We should add it
- [x] Background update to fill in values for all joined rooms and
non-join membership
- [x] Clean-up tables when room is deleted
- [ ] Make sure tables are useful to our use case
- First explored in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/compare/erikj/ss_use_new_tables
- Also explored in
76b5a576eb
- [x] Plan for how can we use this with a fallback
- See plan discussed above in main area of the issue description
- Discussed in an [internal
meeting](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnuvPkaCkT_wviSQZ6YKBjiWciCBFMd-7hxyCO-OCbQ/edit#bookmark=id.dz5x6ef4mxz7)
- [x] Plan for how we can rely on this new table without a fallback
- Synapse version `N+1`: (this PR) Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `87`. Add
new tables and background update to backfill all rows. Since this is a
new table, we don't have to add any `NOT VALID` constraints and validate
them when the background update completes. Read from new tables with a
fallback in cases where the rows aren't filled in yet.
- Synapse version `N+2`: Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `88` and bump
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` to `87` because we don't want people to
downgrade and miss writes while they are on an older version. Add a
foreground update to finish off the backfill so we can read from new
tables without the fallback. Application code can now rely on the new
tables being populated.

<summary>SQL queries:</summary>
Both of these are equivalent and work in SQLite and Postgres
Options 1:
```sql
WITH data_table (room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)}) AS (
VALUES (
?, ?, ?,
(SELECT membership FROM room_memberships WHERE event_id = ?),
(SELECT stream_ordering FROM events WHERE event_id = ?),
{", ".join("?" for _ in insert_values)}
)
)
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships
(room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)})
SELECT * FROM data_table
WHERE membership != ?
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}
```
Option 2:
```sql
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships
(room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)})
SELECT
column1 as room_id,

FROM (
VALUES (
?, ?, ?,
(SELECT membership FROM room_memberships WHERE event_id = ?),
(SELECT stream_ordering FROM events WHERE event_id = ?),
{", ".join("?" for _ in insert_values)}
)
) as v
WHERE membership != ?
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}
```
If we don't need the `membership` condition, we could use:
```sql
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships

)
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}

When returning receipts in sliding sync for initial rooms we should
always include our own receipts in the room (even if they don't match
any timeline events).
Reviewable commit-by-commit.
---------
Co-authored-by: Eric Eastwood <eric.eastwood@beta.gouv.fr>
This supersedes #17503, given the per-connection state is being heavily
rewritten it felt easier to recreate the PR on top of that work.
This correctly handles the case of timeline limits going up and down.
This does not handle changes in `required_state`, but that can be done
as a separate PR.
Based on #17575.

Previously, we just had very basic partial room exclusion based on
whether we were lazy-loading room members. Now with this PR, we added
`must_await_full_state(...)` with rules to check if we have a we're only
requesting `required_state` which is completely satisfied even with
partial state.
Partially-stated rooms should have all state events except for remote
membership events so if we require a remote membership event anywhere,
then we need to return `True`.
This triggers the client to start a new sliding sync connection. If we
don't do this and the client asks for the full range of rooms, we end up
sending down all rooms and their state from scratch (which can be very
slow)
This causes things like
https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/3115 after we restart
the server

Update `filters.is_encrypted` and `filters.types`/`filters.not_types` to
be robust when dealing with remote invite rooms in Sliding Sync.
Part of
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575):
Sliding Sync
Follow-up to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17434
We now take into account current state, fallback to stripped state
for invite/knock rooms, then historical state. If we can't determine
the info needed to filter a room (either from state or stripped state),
it is filtered out.
Rather than always including all rooms in range.
Also adds a pre-filter to rooms that checks the stream change cache to
see if anything might have happened.
Based on #17447
---------
Co-authored-by: Eric Eastwood <eric.eastwood@beta.gouv.fr>
The basic idea is that we introduce a new token for a sliding sync
connection, which stores the mapping of room to room "status" (i.e. have
we sent the room down?). This token allows us to handle duplicate
requests properly. In future it can be used to store more
"per-connection" information safely.
In future this should be migrated into the DB, so its important that we
try to reduce the number of syncs where we need to update the
per-connection information. In this PoC this only happens when we: a)
send down a set of room for the first time, or b) we have previously
sent down a room and there are updates but we are not sending the room
down the sync (due to not falling in a list range)

Backfill events have a negative stream ordering, and so its not useful
to use to compare with other (positive) stream orderings.
Plus, the Rust SDK currently assumes `bump_stamp` is positive.
Prior to this PR, remote downloads which did not provide a
`content-length` were decremented from the remote download ratelimiter
at the max allowable size, leading to excessive ratelimiting - see
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17394.
This PR adds a linearizer to limit concurrent remote downloads to 6 per
IP address, and decrements remote downloads without a `content-length`
from the ratelimiter *after* the download is complete and the response
length is known.
Also adds logic to ensure that responses with a known length respect the
`max_download_size`.
Add room subscriptions to Sliding Sync `/sync`
Based on
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575):
Sliding Sync
Currently, you can only subscribe to rooms you have had *any* membership
in before.
In the future, we will allow `world_readable` rooms to be subscribed to
without joining.
`bump_stamp` corresponds to the `stream_ordering` of the latest `DEFAULT_BUMP_EVENT_TYPES` in the room. This helps clients sort more readily without them needing to pull in a bunch of the timeline to determine the last activity. `bump_event_types` is a thing because for example, we don't want display name changes to mark the room as unread and bump it to the top. For encrypted rooms, we just have to consider any activity as a bump because we can't see the content and the client has to figure it out for themselves.
Outside of Synapse, `bump_stamp` is just a free-form counter so other implementations could use `received_ts`or `origin_server_ts` (see the [*Security considerations* section in MSC3575 about the potential pitfalls of using `origin_server_ts`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md#security-considerations)). It doesn't have any guarantee about always going up. In the Synapse case, it could go down if an event was redacted/removed (or purged in cases of retention policies).
In the future, we could add `bump_event_types` as [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) mentions if people need to customize the event types.

In the Sliding Sync proxy, a similar [`timestamp` field was added](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/pull/247) for the same purpose but the name is not obvious what it pertains to or what it's for.
The `timestamp` field was also added to Ruma in https://github.com/ruma/ruma/pull/1622
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.
Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17274, hopefully.
Basically, old versions of Synapse could advance streams without
persisting anything in the DB (fixed in #17229). On restart those
updates would get lost, and so the position of the stream would revert
to an older position. If this happened across an upgrade to a later
Synapse version which included #17215, then sync could get blocked
indefinitely (until the stream advanced to the position in the token).
We fix this by bounding the stream positions we'll wait for to the
maximum position of the underlying stream ID generator.
Sort is no longer configurable and we always sort rooms by the `stream_ordering` of the last event in the room or the point where the user can see up to in cases of leave/ban/invite/knock.
