As mentioned in #7397, switching to a debian base should help with multi-arch work to save time on compiling. This is unashamedly based on #6373, but without the extra functionality. Switch python version back to generic 3.7 to always pull the latest. Essentially, keeping this as small as possible. The image is bigger though unfortunately.
Turns out that loggers that are instantiated before the config is loaded get
turned off.
Also bring the logging config that is generated by --generate-config into line.
Fixes#6194.
* Allow passing SYNAPSE_WORKER envvar
* changelog.d
* Document SYNAPSE_WORKER.
Attempting to imply that you don't need to change this default
unless you're in worker mode.
Also aware that there's a bigger problem of attempting to document
a complete working configuration of workers using docker, as we
currently only document to use `synctl` for worker mode, and synctl
doesn't work that way in docker.
* Fix debian packages for sid being called buster.
I don't know why the sid images return buster as its codename in
`lsb_release` but it does, so lets just grab the codename from the
distro we pass into dockerfile
* Newsfile
This is basically a contrived way of adding a `Recommends` on `libpq5`, to fix#5653.
The way this is supposed to happen in debhelper is to run
`dh_shlibdeps`, which in turn runs `dpkg-shlibdeps`, which spits things out
into `debian/<package>.substvars` whence they can later be included by
`control`.
Previously, we had disabled `dh_shlibdeps`, mostly because `dpkg-shlibdeps`
gets confused about PIL's interdependent objects, but that's not really the
right thing to do and there is another way to work around that.
Since we don't always use postgres, we don't necessarily want a hard Depends on
libpq5, so I've actually ended up adding an explicit invocation of
`dpkg-shlibdeps` for `psycopg2`.
I've also updated the build-depends list for the package, which was missing a
couple of entries.
Alpine Linux 3.8 is still supported, but it seems like
it's quite outdated now.
While Python should be the same on both, all other libraries, etc.,
are much newer in Alpine 3.9 and 3.10.

This is mostly a documentation change, but also adds a default value for
SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH, so that running from the generated config is the default,
and will Just Work provided your config is in the right place.
When running under docker, we want to use docker's own logging stuff rather
than losing the logs somewhere on the container's filesystem, so let's use log
configs that spit logs out to stdout instead.
We don't want to generate any missing configs when running from a precanned
config.
(There's a strong argument that we don't want to do this at all, since
generating a new signing key on each invocation sounds disasterous, but I don't
fancy unpicking that for now.)
psycopg 2.8 is now out, which means that the C library gets built from source,
so we now need libpq-dev when building.
Turns out the need for this package is already documented in
docs/postgres.rst.
