If a connection is lost before a request is read from Request, Twisted
sets `method` (and `uri`) attributes to dummy values. These dummy values
have incorrect types (i.e. they're not bytes), and so things like
`__repr__` would raise an exception.
To fix this we had a helper method to return the method with a
consistent type.
This commit moves a bunch of the logic for deciding when to log the receipt and
completion of HTTP requests into SynapseRequest, rather than in the request
handling wrappers.
Advantages of this are:
* we get logs for *all* requests (including OPTIONS and HEADs), rather than
just those that end up hitting handlers we've remembered to decorate
correctly.
* when a request handler wires up a Producer (as the media stuff does
currently, and as other things will do soon), we log at the point that all
of the traffic has been sent to the client.
otherwise we explode with:

...where the logger apparently recurses whilst trying to log the error, hitting the
maximum recursion depth and killing everything badly.
When we finish processing a request, log the number of events we fetched from
the database to handle it.
[I'm trying to figure out which requests are responsible for large amounts of
event cache churn. It may turn out to be more helpful to add counts to the
prometheus per-request/block metrics, but that is an extension to this code
anyway.]
(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
For each request, track the amount of time spent waiting for a db
connection. This entails adding it to the LoggingContext and we may as well add
metrics for it while we are passing.
