* Correctly retry and back off if we get a HTTPerror response
* Refactor request sending to have better excpetions
MatrixFederationHttpClient blindly reraised exceptions to the caller
without differentiating "expected" failures (e.g. connection timeouts
etc) versus more severe problems (e.g. programming errors).
This commit adds a RequestSendFailed exception that is raised when
"expected" failures happen, allowing the TransactionQueue to log them as
warnings while allowing us to log other exceptions as actual exceptions.
* Fix command hint to generate a config file
When trying to start Synapse without a config file, it will complain
and give a hint towards what command to run. This hinted command
is missing the "report_stats" parameter, which is required with either
yes or no value. Add this to the command.
Not an ideal situation but makes the given command work without the
user getting another error, even though it might be unclear what
"report_stats" represents.

since #4298, the optional dependencies are no longer installed with a simple
`pip install .`, which meant that they were not being included in the debian
package.
The easy fix to that is dh_virtualenv --extras, but that needs dh_virtualenv
1.1...
* Remove mention of lt-cred-mech in the sample coturn config.
See https://github.com/coturn/coturn/pull/262 for more context.
Also clean up some minor formatting issues while I'm here.
* Add changelog.

prometheus_client 0.5 has a named-tuple Sample type with more member
than the old plain tuple had. This commit makes sure the unit test
detects this and changes the way it reads the sample.

Allow for the creation of a support user.
A support user can access the server, join rooms, interact with other users, but does not appear in the user directory nor does it contribute to monthly active user limits.
This is largely a precursor for the removal of the bundled webclient. The idea
is to present a page at / which reassures people that something is working, and
to give them some links for next steps.
The welcome page lives at `/_matrix/static/`, so is enabled alongside the other
`static` resources (which, in practice, means the client API is enabled). We'll
redirect to it from `/` if we have nothing better to display there.
It would be nice to have a way to disable it (in the same way that you might
disable the nginx welcome page), but I can't really think of a good way to do
that without a load of ickiness.
It's based on the work done by @krombel for #2601.
If you're installing as a system package, the system package should have set up
the systemd config, so it's more useful to give an example of running in a
virtualenv here.
This implements both a SAML2 metadata endpoint (at
`/_matrix/saml2/metadata.xml`), and a SAML2 response receiver (at
`/_matrix/saml2/authn_response`). If the SAML2 response matches what's been
configured, we complete the SSO login flow by redirecting to the client url
(aka `RelayState` in SAML2 jargon) with a login token.
What we don't yet have is anything to build a SAML2 request and redirect the
user to the identity provider. That is left as an exercise for the reader.
