Adds three new configuration variables:
* destination_min_retry_interval is identical to before (10mn).
* destination_retry_multiplier is now 2 instead of 5, the maximum value will
be reached slower.
* destination_max_retry_interval is one day instead of (essentially) infinity.
Capping this will cause destinations to continue to be retried sometimes instead
of being lost forever. The previous value was 2 ^ 62 milliseconds.
Allow configuring the set of workers to proxy outbound federation traffic through (`outbound_federation_restricted_to`).
This is useful when you have a worker setup with `federation_sender` instances responsible for sending outbound federation requests and want to make sure *all* outbound federation traffic goes through those instances. Before this change, the generic workers would still contact federation themselves for things like profile lookups, backfill, etc. This PR allows you to set more strict access controls/firewall for all workers and only allow the `federation_sender`'s to contact the outside world.
Previously, if you just followed the instructions per the docs, you just ran into an error:
```sh
$ poetry run synapse_worker --config-path homeserver_generic_worker1.yaml
Missing mandatory `server_name` config option.
```
Unix socket support for `federation` and `client` Listeners has existed now for a little while(since [1.81.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15353)), but there was one last hold out before it could be complete: HTTP Replication communication. This should finish it up. The Listeners would have always worked, but would have had no way to be talked to/at.

The original code is from @erikjohnston's branches which I've gotten in-shape to merge.
Implements stable support for MSC3882; this involves updating Synapse's support to
match the MSC / the spec says.
Continue to support the unstable version to allow clients to transition.
Application services providing a "user" property (instead of "username") for
the /register endpoint was never specified. Deprecate this very old
fallback.
Fix#15667
- Reiterate the importance of getting Rust installed and set up before attempting to install the Python dependencies.
- Mention the importance of confirming that `poetry install` completed successfully and include a typical error that the user might see if it did not.
- Expand on "Now edit homeserver.yaml" to give examples of things likely to need changing and to link to the relevant sections of the Synapse server documentation.
This moves the deactivated user check to the method which
all login types call.
Additionally updates the application service tests to be more
realistic by removing invalid tests and fixing server names.
