Fixes#13942. Introduced in #13575.
Basically, let's only get the ordered set of hosts out of the DB if we need an ordered set of hosts. Since we split the function up the caching won't be as good, but I think it will still be fine as e.g. multiple backfill requests for the same room will hit the cache.
* Remove checks for membership column in current_state_events
* Add schema script to force through the
`current_state_events_membership` background job

Update the docstrings for `get_users_in_room` and
`get_current_hosts_in_room` to explain the impact of partial state.

Handle malformed user IDs with no colons in `get_current_hosts_in_room`.
It's not currently possible for a malformed user ID to join a room, so
this error would never be hit.

The method doesn't actually do any data fetching and the method that
does, `_get_joined_profile_from_event_id`, has its own cache.

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/
Still maintains local in memory lookup optimisation, but does any external
lookup as part of the deferred that prevents duplicate lookups for the same
event at once. This makes the assumption that fetching from an external
cache is a non-zero load operation.
See #10826 and #10786 for context as to why we had to disable pruning on
those caches.
Now that `get_users_who_share_room_with_user` is called frequently only
for presence, we just need to make calls to it less frequent and then we
can remove the various levels of caching that is going on.
Some experimental prep work to enable external event caching based on #9379 & #12955. Doesn't actually move the cache at all, just lays the groundwork for async implemented caches.

Refactor and convert `Linearizer` to async. This makes a `Linearizer`
cancellation bug easier to fix.
Also refactor to use an async context manager, which eliminates an
unlikely footgun where code that doesn't immediately use the context
manager could forget to release the lock.

This should speed up push rule calculations for rooms with large numbers of local users when the main push rule cache fails.
Co-authored-by: reivilibre <oliverw@matrix.org>
For users with large accounts it is inefficient to calculate the set of
users they share a room with (and takes a lot of space in the cache).
Instead we can look at users whose devices have changed since the last
sync and check if they share a room with the syncing user.
Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10030.
We were expecting milliseconds where we should have provided a value in seconds.
The impact of this bug isn't too bad. The code is intended to count the number of remote servers that the homeserver can see and report that as a metric. This metric is supposed to run initially 1 second after server startup, and every 60s as well. Instead, it ran 1,000 seconds after server startup, and every 60s after startup.
This fix allows for the correct metrics to be collected immediately, as well as preventing a random collection 1,000s in the future after startup.
