First some background: StreamChangeCache is used to keep track of what "entities" have
changed since a given stream ID. So for example, we might use it to keep track of when the last
to-device message for a given user was received [1], and hence whether we need to pull any to-device messages from the database on a sync [2].
Now, it turns out that StreamChangeCache didn't support more than one thing being changed at
a given stream_id (this was part of the problem with #7206). However, it's entirely valid to send
to-device messages to more than one user at a time.
As it turns out, this did in fact work, because *some* methods of StreamChangeCache coped
ok with having multiple things changing on the same stream ID, and it seems we never actually
use the methods which don't work on the stream change caches where we allow multiple
changes at the same stream ID. But that feels horribly fragile, hence: let's update
StreamChangeCache to properly support this, and add some typing and some more tests while
we're at it.

The aim here is to move the command handling out of the TCP protocol classes and to also merge the client and server command handling (so that we can reuse them for redis protocol). This PR simply moves the client paths to the new `ReplicationCommandHandler`, a future PR will move the server paths too.
Fixes#6815
Before figuring out whether we should alert a user on MAU, we call get_notice_room_for_user to get some info on the existing server notices room for this user. This function, if the room doesn't exist, creates it and invites the user in it. This means that, if we decide later that no server notice is needed, the user gets invited in a room with no message in it. This happens at every restart of the server, since the room ID returned by get_notice_room_for_user is cached.
This PR fixes that by moving the inviting bit to a dedicated function, that's only called when the server actually needs to send a notice to the user. A potential issue with this approach is that the room that's created by get_notice_room_for_user doesn't match how that same function looks for an existing room (i.e. it creates a room that doesn't have an invite or a join for the current user in it, so it could lead to a new room being created each time a user syncs), but I'm not sure this is a problem given it's cached until the server restarts, so that function won't run very often.
It also renames get_notice_room_for_user into get_or_create_notice_room_for_user to make what it does clearer.
Occasionally we could get a federation device list update transaction which
looked like:
```
[
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D2', 'prev_id': [], 'stream_id': 12, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D1', 'prev_id': [12], 'stream_id': 11, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D3', 'prev_id': [11], 'stream_id': 13, 'deleted': True}}
]
```
Having `stream_ids` which are lower than `prev_ids` looks odd. It might work
(I'm not actually sure), but in any case it doesn't seem like a reasonable
thing to expect other implementations to support.
That fallback sets the redirect URL to itself (so it can process the login
token then return gracefully to the client). This would make it pointless to
ask the user for confirmation, since the URL the confirmation page would be
showing wouldn't be the client's.
This changes the replication protocol so that the server does not send down `RDATA` for rows that happened before the client connected. Instead, the server will send a `POSITION` and clients then query the database (or master out of band) to get up to date.
* Pull Sentinel out of LoggingContext
... and drop a few unnecessary references to it
* Factor out LoggingContext.current_context
move `current_context` and `set_context` out to top-level functions.
Mostly this means that I can more easily trace what's actually referring to
LoggingContext, but I think it's generally neater.
* move copy-to-parent into `stop`
this really just makes `start` and `stop` more symetric. It also means that it
behaves correctly if you manually `set_log_context` rather than using the
context manager.
* Replace `LoggingContext.alive` with `finished`
Turn `alive` into `finished` and make it a bit better defined.
* Add 'device_lists_outbound_pokes' as extra table.
This makes sure we check all the relevant tables to get the current max
stream ID.
Currently not doing so isn't problematic as the max stream ID in
`device_lists_outbound_pokes` is the same as in `device_lists_stream`,
however that will change.
* Change device lists stream to have one row per id.
This will make it possible to process the streams more incrementally,
avoiding having to process large chunks at once.
* Change device list replication to match new semantics.
Instead of sending down batches of user ID/host tuples, send down a row
per entity (user ID or host).
* Newsfile
* Remove handling of multiple rows per ID
* Fix worker handling
* Comments from review
It was originally implemented by pulling the full auth chain of all
state sets out of the database and doing set comparison. However, that
can take a lot work if the state and auth chains are large.
Instead, lets try and fetch the auth chains at the same time and
calculate the difference on the fly, allowing us to bail early if all
the auth chains converge. Assuming that the auth chains do converge more
often than not, this should improve performance. Hopefully.
