Docker: support SYNAPSE_WORKER envvar (#6058)

* 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.

`/data`.
* `SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH`: path to the config file. Defaults to
`<SYNAPSE_CONFIG_DIR>/homeserver.yaml`.
* `SYNAPSE_WORKER`: module to execute, used when running synapse with workers.
Defaults to `synapse.app.homeserver`, which is suitable for non-worker mode.
* `UID`, `GID`: the user and group id to run Synapse as. Defaults to `991`, `991`.
* `TZ`: the [timezone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) the container will run with. Defaults to `UTC`.
