Our documentation has a history of using a document's name as a way to link to it, such as "See [workers.md]() for details". This makes sense when you're traversing a directory of files, but less sense when the files are abstracted away - as they are on the documentation website.
This PR changes the links to various documentation pages to something that fits better into the surrounding sentence, as you would when making any hyperlink on the web.
So that they render nicely in mdbook (see #10086), and so that we no longer have a mix of structured text languages in our documentation (excluding files outside of `docs/`).
Support the delete of a room through DELETE request and mark
previous request as deprecated through documentation.

Earlier [I was convinced](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9565) that we didn't have an Admin API for listing media uploaded by a user. Foolishly I was looking under the Media Admin API documentation, instead of the User Admin API documentation.
I thought it'd be helpful to link to the latter so others don't hit the same dead end :)
This could arguably replace the existing admin API for `/members`, however that is out of scope of this change.
This sort of endpoint is ideal for moderation use cases as well as other applications, such as needing to retrieve various bits of information about a room to perform a task (like syncing power levels between two places). This endpoint exposes nothing more than an admin would be able to access with a `select *` query on their database.
This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via
the admin API and adds documentation for it.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their
client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms.
Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead
to confusing or broken behaviour for the client.
