This PR:
* Converts UPGRADE.rst to markdown and moves the contents into the `docs/` directory.
* Updates the contents of UPGRADE.rst to point to the website instead.
* Updates links around the codebase that point to UPGRADE.rst.
`pandoc` + some manual editing was used to convert from RST to md.
Implemented config option sso.update_profile_information to keep user's display name in sync with the SSO displayname.

This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.
This doc is short but a useful guide to what the request log lines mean.

This is essentially an implementation of the proposal made at https://hackmd.io/@richvdh/BJYXQMQHO, though the details have ended up looking slightly different.
With the prior format, 1.33.0 / 1.33.1 / 1.33.2 got separate branches:
release-v1.33.0
release-v1.33.1
release-v1.33.2
Under the new model, all three would share a common branch:
release-v1.33
As before, RCs and actual releases exist as tags on these branches.
This better reflects our support model, e.g., that the "1.33" series had
a formal release followed by two patches / updates.

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/`).
MSC1772 specifies the m.room.create event should be sent as part
of the invite_state. This was done optionally behind an experimental
flag, but is now done by default due to MSC1772 being approved.
Now that cross signing exists there is much less of a need for other people to look at devices and verify them individually. This PR adds a config option to allow you to prevent device display names from being shared with other servers.

Synapse can be quite memory intensive, and unless care is taken to tune
the GC thresholds it can end up thrashing, causing noticable performance
problems for large servers. We fix this by limiting how often we GC a
given generation, regardless of current counts/thresholds.
This does not help with the reverse problem where the thresholds are set
too high, but that should only happen in situations where they've been
manually configured.
Adds a `gc_min_seconds_between` config option to override the defaults.
Fixes#9890.

This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).
At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
The regex should be terminated so that subdomain matches of another
domain are not accepted. Just ensuring that someone doesn't shoot
themselves in the foot by copying our example.

`room_invite_state_types` was inconvenient as a configuration setting, because
anyone that ever set it would not receive any new types that were added to the
defaults. Here, we deprecate the old setting, and replace it with a couple of
new settings under `room_prejoin_state`.
I've reiterated the advice about using `oidc` to migrate, since I've seen a few
people caught by this.
I've also removed a couple of the examples as they are duplicating the OIDC
documentation, and I think they might be leading people astray.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
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 PR adds a homeserver config option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, that when enabled will show local users higher in user directory search results than remote users. This option is off by default.
Note that turning this on doesn't necessarily mean that remote users will always be put below local users, but they should be assuming all other ranking factors (search query match, profile information present etc) are identical.
This is useful for, say, University networks that are openly federating, but want to prioritise local students and staff in the user directory over other random users.
Add off-by-default configuration settings to:
- disable putting an invitee's profile info in invite events
- disable profile lookup via federation

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.
There's some prelimiary work here to pull out the construction of a jinja environment to a separate function.
I wanted to load the template at display time rather than load time, so that it's easy to update on the fly. Honestly, I think we should do this with all our templates: the risk of ending up with malformed templates is far outweighed by the improved turnaround time for an admin trying to update them.
Fixes#8966.

We've decided to add a 'brand' field to help clients decide how to style the
buttons.
Also, fix up the allowed characters for idp_id, while I'm in the area.
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.
This is the final step for supporting multiple OIDC providers concurrently.
First of all, we reorganise the config so that you can specify a list of OIDC providers, instead of a single one. Before:
oidc_config:
enabled: true
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
# etc
After:
oidc_providers:
- idp_id: prov1
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
- idp_id: prov2
issuer: "https://another_oidc_provider"
The old format is still grandfathered in.
With that done, it's then simply a matter of having OidcHandler instantiate a new OidcProvider for each configured provider.
Protecting media stops it from being quarantined when
e.g. all media in a room is quarantined. This is useful
for sticker packs and other media that is uploaded by
server administrators, but used by many people.
If a user tries to do UI Auth via SSO, but uses the wrong account on the SSO
IdP, try to give them a better error.
Previously, the UIA would claim to be successful, but then the operation in
question would simply fail with "auth fail". Instead, serve up an error page
which explains the failure.
This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.

The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.
Fixes#8876.
