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.

* Add master to the instance_map as part of Complement, have ReplicationEndpoint look at instance_map for master.
* Fix typo in drive by.
* Remove unnecessary worker_replication_* bits from unit tests and add master to instance_map(hopefully in the right place)
* Several updates:
1. Switch from master to main for naming the main process in the instance_map. Add useful constants for easier adjustment of names in the future.
2. Add backwards compatibility for worker_replication_* to allow time to transition to new style. Make sure to prioritize declaring main directly on the instance_map.
3. Clean up old comments/commented out code.
4. Adjust unit tests to match with new code.
5. Adjust Complement setup infrastructure to only add main to the instance_map if workers are used and remove now unused options from the worker.yaml template.
* Initial Docs upload
* Changelog
* Missed some commented out code that can go now
* Remove TODO comment that no longer holds true.
* Fix links in docs
* More docs
* Remove debug logging
* Apply suggestions from code review

Part of my continuing quest to make the docker images build quicker: copy nginx and redis in from base docker images, rather than apt installing each time.
This PR adds a Dockerfile and some supporting files to the `docker/` directory. The Dockerfile's intention is to spin up a container with:
* A Synapse main process.
* Any desired worker processes, defined by a `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable supplied at runtime.
* A redis for worker communication.
* A nginx for routing traffic.
* A supervisord to start all worker processes and monitor them if any go down.
Note that **this is not currently intended to be used in production**. If you'd like to use Synapse workers with Docker, instead make use of the official image, with one worker per container. The purpose of this dockerfile is currently to allow testing Synapse in worker mode with the [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/) test suite.
`configure_workers_and_start.py` is where most of the magic happens in this PR. It reads from environment variables (documented in the file) and creates all necessary config files for the processes. It is the entrypoint of the Dockerfile, and thus is run any time the docker container is spun up, recreating all config files in case you want to use a different set of workers. One can specify which workers they'd like to use by setting the `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable (as a comma-separated list of arbitrary worker names) or by setting it to `*` for all worker processes. We will be using the latter in CI.
Huge thanks to @MatMaul for helping get this all working 🎉 This PR is paired with its equivalent on the Complement side: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/62.
Note, for the purpose of testing this PR before it's merged: You'll need to (re)build the base Synapse docker image for everything to work (`matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`). Then build the worker-based docker image on top (`matrixdotorg/synapse:workers`).
