And fix a bug in the implementation of the updated redaction
format (MSC2174) where the top-level redacts field was not
properly added for backwards-compatibility.
Allow configuring the set of workers to proxy outbound federation traffic through (`outbound_federation_restricted_to`).
This is useful when you have a worker setup with `federation_sender` instances responsible for sending outbound federation requests and want to make sure *all* outbound federation traffic goes through those instances. Before this change, the generic workers would still contact federation themselves for things like profile lookups, backfill, etc. This PR allows you to set more strict access controls/firewall for all workers and only allow the `federation_sender`'s to contact the outside world.
Make it more obvious which Python version runs on a given Linux distribution so when we end up dropping support for a given Python version, we can more easily find the reference to the Python version and remove any references for the distribution. We don't want to be running tests or building packages on a distribution that no longer has a supported Python version.
This way, we can avoid another situation like when we dropped support for Python 3.7 but forgot to drop the Debian Buster references everywhere (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15893)
Previously, if you just followed the instructions per the docs, you just ran into an error:
```sh
$ poetry run synapse_worker --config-path homeserver_generic_worker1.yaml
Missing mandatory `server_name` config option.
```
**Before:**
```
Error retrieving alias
```
**After:**
```
Error retrieving alias #foo:bar -> 401 Unauthorized
```
*Spawning from creating the [manual testing strategy for the outbound federation proxy](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15773).*
Unix socket support for `federation` and `client` Listeners has existed now for a little while(since [1.81.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15353)), but there was one last hold out before it could be complete: HTTP Replication communication. This should finish it up. The Listeners would have always worked, but would have had no way to be talked to/at.

A lot of the functions have the same name in this space like `store_file`,
and we also do it multiple times for different reasons (main media repo,
other storage providers, thumbnails, etc) so it's good to differentiate
them so your head doesn't explode.
