There is no need to grab thousands of backfill points when we only need 5 to make the `/backfill` request with. We need to grab a few extra in case the first few aren't visible in the history.
Previously, we grabbed thousands of backfill points from the database, then sorted and filtered them in the app. Fetching the 4.6k backfill points for `#matrix:matrix.org` from the database takes ~50ms - ~570ms so it's not like this saves a lot of time 🤷. But it might save us more time now that `get_backfill_points_in_room`/`get_insertion_event_backward_extremities_in_room` are more complicated after https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635
This PR moves the filtering and limiting to the SQL query so we just have less data to work with in the first place.

c.f. #12993 (comment), point 3
This stores all device list updates that we receive while partial joins are ongoing, and processes them once we have the full state.
Note: We don't actually process the device lists in the same ways as if we weren't partially joined. Instead of updating the device list remote cache, we simply notify local users that a change in the remote user's devices has happened. I think this is safe as if the local user requests the keys for the remote user and we don't have them we'll simply fetch them as normal.
This PR begins work on batching up events during the creation of a room. The PR splits out the creation and sending/persisting of the events. The first three events in the creation of the room-creating the room, joining the creator to the room, and the power levels event are sent sequentially, while the subsequent events are created and collected to be sent at the end of the function. This is currently done by appending them to a list and then iterating over the list to send, the next step (after this PR) would be to send and persist the collected events as a batch.

As an example, disabling the `have_seen_event` cache saves 10 seconds for each `/messages` request in that MSC2716 Complement test because we're not making as many federation requests for `/state` (speeding up `have_seen_event` itself is related to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13625)

### The problem
`_invalidate_caches_for_event` doesn't run in monolith mode which means we never even tried to clear the `have_seen_event` and other caches. And even in worker mode, it only runs on the workers, not the master (AFAICT).
Additionally there was bug with the key being wrong so `_invalidate_caches_for_event` never invalidates the `have_seen_event` cache even when it does run.
Because we were using the `@cachedList` wrong, it was putting items in the cache under keys like `((room_id, event_id),)` with a `set` in a `set` (ex. `(('!TnCIJPKzdQdUlIyXdQ:test', '$Iu0eqEBN7qcyF1S9B3oNB3I91v2o5YOgRNPwi_78s-k'),)`) and we we're trying to invalidate with just `(room_id, event_id)` which did nothing.
Since MSC3715 has passed FCP, the stable parameter can be used.
This currently falls back to the unstable parameter if the stable
parameter is not provided (and MSC3715 support is enabled in
the configuration).
Since #11482, we're saving sessions IDs from upstream IdPs, but we've been losing them when the user goes through a user mapping session on account registration.
During a `lazy_load_members` `/sync`, we look through auth events in
rooms with partial state to find prior membership events. When such a
membership is not found, an error is logged.
Since the first join event for a user never has a prior membership event
to cite, the error would always be logged when one appeared in the room
timeline.
Avoid logging errors for such events.
Introduced in #13477.

This should mean that logs from worker processes are flushed before shutdown.
When a test completes, Complement stops the docker container, which means that
synapse will receive a SIGTERM. Currently, the `complement_fork_starter` exits
immediately (without notifying the worker processes), which means that the
workers never get a chance to flush their logs before the whole container is
vaped. We can fix this by propagating the SIGTERM to the children.
This is also using the partial state approximation if needed so we do
not block here during a fast join.

This moves all the invalidations into a single place and de-duplicates

The change to `_encode_json_bytes` definition wasn't sufficient:

Use the provided list of servers in the room from the `/send_join`
response, since we will not know which users are in the room. This
isn't sufficient to ensure that all remote servers receive the right
device list updates, since the `/send_join` response may be inaccurate
or we may calculate the membership state of new users in the room
incorrectly.

Adds a `thread_id` column to the `event_push_actions`, `event_push_actions_staging`,
and `event_push_summary` tables. This will notifications to be segmented by the thread
in a future pull request. The `thread_id` column stores the root event ID or the special
value `"main"`.
The `thread_id` column for `event_push_actions` and `event_push_summary` is
backfilled with `"main"` for all existing rows. New entries into `event_push_actions`
and `event_push_actions_staging` will get the proper thread ID.
`receipts_linearized` and `receipts_graph` also gain a `thread_id` column, which is similar,
except `NULL` is a special value meaning the receipt is "unthreaded".
See MSC3771 and MSC3773 for where this data will be useful.
Partial indices have been supported since SQLite 3.8, but Synapse
now requires >= 3.27, so we can enable support for them.
This requires rebuilding previous indices which were partial on
PostgreSQL, but not on SQLite.
* Remove incorrect migration file from `state` logical DB
The table `ex_outlier_stream` is part of the `main` logical DB; it
should not have been created in the `state` logical DB. We remove this
migration now as a tidy-up.
Note: we cannot `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ex_outlier_stream` in a new
migration, because some (most) instances of Synapse host both of these
logical DBs on the same DB cluster.
* Changelog
When a remote user leaves the last room shared with the homeserver, we
have to mark their device list as unsubscribed, otherwise we would hold
on to a stale device list in our cache. Crucially, the device list would
remain cached even after the remote user rejoined the room, which could
lead to E2EE failures until the next change to the remote user's device
list.

The problem with many services is that it makes it hard to find which service has the trace you want, see https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-ui/issues/985
Previously, we split traces out into services based on their instance name like `matrix.org client_reader-1`, etc but there are many worker instances of the same `client_reader` so there is a lot to click through.
With this PR, all of the traces are just collected under the worker type like `client_reader`, `event_persister` 😇
Note: A Synapse worker instance name is an opaque string with the number convention only being our own thing for the `matrix.org` deployment. But seems pretty sensible to group things this way.

When backfilling, `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` calls [`get_metadata_for_events`](26bc26586b/synapse/handlers/federation_event.py (L1133)). For `#matrix:matrix.org`, it's called with 77k `state_events` which means 77 calls to the database and takes 28 seconds.
This is a re-do of 57d334a13d (#13365),
which was backed out in 12abd72497 (#13501).
The `room_id` field represented the parent space for each room
and was made redundant by changes in the API shape where the
`children_state` is now nested underneath each `room`.
The room ID of each child is in the `state_key` field and is still
available.
This avoids doing work that will never be used (since the
resulting unread counts will never be sent in a /sync
response).
The negative of doing this is that unread counts will be
incorrect when the feature is initially enabled.

The method doesn't actually do any data fetching and the method that

Signed off by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar).
We incorrectly didn't use the returned `Responder` if the client had
disconnected, which meant that the resource used by the Responder
wasn't correctly released.
In particular, this exhausted the thread pools so that *all* requests
timed out.
Media downloaded as part of a URL preview is normally deleted after two days.
However, while a background database migration is running, the process is
stopped. A long-running database migration can therefore cause the media
store to fill up with old preview files.
This logic was added in #2697 to make sure that we didn't try to run the expiry
without an index on `local_media_repository.created_ts`; the original logic that
needs that index was added in #2478 (in `get_url_cache_media_before`, as
amended by 93247a424a), and is still present.
Given that the background update was added before Synapse v1.0.0, just drop
this check and assume the index exists.
Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)).
There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room:
1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state`
- Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill`
- This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳
1. `get_current_hosts_in_room`
- Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators
1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events`
- Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop`

### Query performance
#### Before
The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s):
```
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036)
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243)
```
But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$'))
FROM current_state_events
WHERE
type = 'm.room.member'
AND membership = 'join'
AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
4130
(1 row)
Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182)
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
80814
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events;
count
---------
8162847
synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') );
pg_size_pretty
----------------
4702 MB
```
#### After
I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart.
After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
Timing is on.
synapse=# SELECT
substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host
FROM current_state_events c
/* Get the depth of the event from the events table */
INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id)
WHERE
c.type = 'm.room.member'
AND c.membership = 'join'
AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'
GROUP BY host
ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC;
Time: 333.800 ms
```
#### Going further
To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up.
Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan:
- https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Loose_indexscan
- Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/
- https://www.timescale.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-up-to-8000x-faster-on-postgresql/
If things like the signing key file are missing, let's just try to generate
them on startup.
Again, this is useful for k8s-like deployments where we just want to generate
keys on the first run.
When loading current ids, sort by stream ID so that we don't want to overwrite the `current_position` of an instance to a lower stream ID than we're actually at ([discussion](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13585#discussion_r951795379)). Previously, it sorted alphabetically by instance name which can be `null` and throw errors but more importantly, accomplishes nothing.
Fixes the following startup error which is why I started looking into this area:
```
$ poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
****************************************************************
Error during initialisation:
'<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'

```
Somehow my database ended up looking like the following, notice the `instance_name` is `null` in the db, and we can't sort `NoneType` things. Another question is why do we see the `instance_name` as `null` sometimes instead of `master` in monolith mode?
```
$ psql synapse
synapse=# SELECT * FROM stream_positions;
stream_name | instance_name | stream_id
-----------------+---------------+-----------
account_data | master | 1242
events | master | 1787
to_device | master | 58
presence_stream | master | 485638
receipts | master | 341

Use dedicated `get_local_users_in_room` to find local users when calculating `join_authorised_via_users_server` ("the authorising user for joining a restricted room") of a `/make_join` request.
Found while working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13575#discussion_r953023755 but it's not related.
This speeds things up by ~2x.
The vast majority of the time is now spent in `LruCache` moving things around the linked lists.
We do this via two things:
1. Don't create a deferred per-key during bulk set operations in `DeferredCache`. Instead, only create them if a subsequent caller asks for the key.
2. Add a bulk lookup API to `DeferredCache` rather than use a loop.
Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
