Since Synapse 1.76.0, any module which registers a `on_new_event`
callback would brick the ability to join remote rooms.
This is because this callback tried to get the full state of the room,
which would end up in a deadlock.

The following module would brick the ability to join remote rooms:
```python
from typing import Any, Dict, Literal, Union
import logging
from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi, EventBase
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class MyModule:
def __init__(self, config: None, api: ModuleApi):
self._api = api
self._config = config
self._api.register_third_party_rules_callbacks(
on_new_event=self.on_new_event,
)
async def on_new_event(self, event: EventBase, _state_map: Any) -> None:
logger.info(f"Received new event: {event}")
@staticmethod
def parse_config(_config: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
return None
```
This is technically a breaking change, as we are now passing partial
state on the `on_new_event` callback.
However, this callback was broken for federated rooms since 1.76.0, and
local rooms have full state anyway, so it's unlikely that it would
change anything.
Prior to this PR, if a request to create a public (public as in
published to the rooms directory) room violated the room list
publication rules set in the
[config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#room_list_publication_rules),
the request to create the room was denied and the room was not created.
This PR changes the behavior such that when a request to create a room
published to the directory violates room list publication rules, the
room is still created but the room is not published to the directory.

An administrator should know whether he wants to set a password or not.
There are many uses cases where a blank password is required.
- Use of only some users with SSO.
- Use of bots with password, users with SSO
This adds a module API which allows a module to update a user's
presence state/status message. This is useful for controlling presence
from an external system.
To fully control presence from the module the presence.enabled config
parameter gains a new state of "untracked" which disables internal tracking
of presence changes via user actions, etc. Only updates from the module will
be persisted and sent down sync properly).
