... when workers are unreachable, etc.
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17117.
The general principle is just to make sure that we propagate any
exceptions to the JsonResource, so that we return an error code to the
sending server. That means that the sending server no longer considers
the message safely sent, so it will retry later.
In the issue, Erik mentions that an alternative solution would be to
persist the to-device messages into a table so that they can be retried.
This might be an improvement for performance, but even if we did that,
we still need this mechanism, since we might be unable to reach the
database. So, if we want to do that, it can be a later follow-up.

If we prepopulate the test homeserver with a key for a remote homeserver, we
can make federation requests to it without having to stub out the
authenticator. This has two advantages:
* means that what we are testing is closer to reality (ie, we now have
complete tests for the incoming-request-authorisation flow)
* some tests require that other objects be signed by the remote server (eg,
the event in `/send_join`), and doing that would require a whole separate
set of mocking out. It's much simpler just to use real keys.
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.
This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:
- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.
I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.
