Point to the book where possible, and use hyperlinks to github to refer to files not included in the book.

This PR:
* Converts UPGRADE.rst to markdown and moves the contents into the `docs/` directory.
* Updates the contents of UPGRADE.rst to point to the website instead.
* Updates links around the codebase that point to UPGRADE.rst.
`pandoc` + some manual editing was used to convert from RST to md.
At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
The test runner isn't present in the `[all]` set of extras, so the
previous instructions did not work without also installing `[test]`.
Note that this does not include the `[lint]` extras, since those do not
install on all supported Python versions (specifically, isort 5.x
requires Python 3.6, while we still support 3.5). Instructions for that
are included in our pull request template, so we should be fine there.
I've also dropped the `--no-use-pep517` arg to `pip install` since it
seems to have been added to address a temporary regression in pip 19.1
which was fixed in pip 19.1.1 the following month.
Lastly, updated the example output of the test suite to set more
realistic expectations around run time.

Added shields directing to synapse-dev room, showing license, latest version on PyPi and supported Python versions.
I've moved substitution definitions to the bottom to improve readability.

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/sphinx doesn't seem to really be utilised or changed recently since the initial commit. I like the idea of exportable documentation of the codebase, but at the moment after running through the build instructions the generated website wasn't very useful...
Continuation of #7379
Adds a section in the README telling people to go to #synapse:matrix.org instead of using github issues. I'm not entirely sure about placing it above the install section but then people are likely to first seek support when installing (if something goes boom), and it's probably better to have it as high as possible anyway so people actually see it.
This PR moves the "support is in #synapse:matrix.org" in the bug report template outside of the comment as some people seem to ignore what's in the comments, and phrase it a bit more like the support request template. It also adds a default issue template that says the same thing. It's also adding a notice about the security disclosure to both the default template and the bug report one.
It also adds a badge to the top of the README with an alt text saying about the same message if the badge doesn't load (e.g. if matrix.org is slow).
Fixes#6826
The readme was getting pretty unmanageable and hard to grok. This is an attempt to simplify things by moving installation instructions from the README to a separate file. I've tried to resist the temptation to fix too much stuff while I'm here - it mostly just copies-and-pastes from one doc to the other, and changes from rst to md syntax.
