There are two steps to rebuilding the user directory:
1. a scan over rooms, followed by
2. a scan over local users.
The former reads avatars and display names from the `room_memberships`
table and therefore contains potentially private avatars and
display names. The latter reads from the the `profiles` table which only
contains public data; moreover it will overwrite any private profiles
that the rooms scan may have written to the user directory. This means
that the rebuild could leak private user while the rebuild was in
progress, only to later cover up the leaks once the rebuild had completed.
This change skips over local users when writing user_directory rows
when scanning rooms. Doing so means that it'll take longer for a rebuild
to make local users searchable, which is unfortunate. I think a future
PR can improve this by swapping the order of the two steps above. (And
indeed there's more to do here, e.g. copying from `profiles` without
going via Python.)
Small tidy-ups while I'm here:
* Remove duplicated code from test_initial. This was meant to be pulled into `purge_and_rebuild_user_dir`.
* Move `is_public` before updating sharing tables. No functional change; it's still before the first read of `is_public`.
* Don't bother creating a set from dict keys. Slightly nicer and makes the code simpler.

We correctly allowed using the MSC2716 batch endpoint for
the room creator in existing room versions but accidentally didn't track
the events because of a logic flaw.
This prevented you from connecting subsequent chunks together because it would
throw the unknown batch ID error.
We only want to process MSC2716 events when:
- The room version supports MSC2716
- Any room where the homeserver has the `msc2716_enabled` experimental feature enabled and the event is from the room creator
`_check_event_auth` is only called in two places, and only one of those sets
`send_on_behalf_of`. Warming the cache isn't really part of auth anyway, so
moving it out makes a lot more sense.
There's little point in doing a fancy state reconciliation dance if the event
itself is invalid.
Likewise, there's no point checking it again in `_check_for_soft_fail`.

* Introduce `should_include_local_users_in_dir`
We exclude three kinds of local users from the user_directory tables. At
present we don't consistently exclude all three in the same places. This
commit introduces a new function to gather those exclusion conditions
together. Because we have to handle local and remote users in different
ways, I've made that function only consider the case of remote users.
It's the caller's responsibility to make the local versus remote
distinction clear and correct.
A test fixup is required. The test now hits a path which makes db
queries against the users table. The expected rows were missing, because
we were using a dummy user that hadn't actually been registered.
We also add new test cases to covert the exclusion logic.
----
By my reading this makes these changes:
* When an app service user registers or changes their profile, they will
_not_ be added to the user directory. (Previously only support and
deactivated users were excluded). This is consistent with the logic that
rebuilds the user directory. See also [the discussion
here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10914#discussion_r716859548).
* When rebuilding the directory, exclude support and disabled users from
room sharing tables. Previously only appservice users were excluded.
* Exclude all three categories of local users when rebuilding the
directory. Previously `_populate_user_directory_process_users` didn't do
any exclusion.

This fixes a "Event not signed by authorising server" error when
transition room member from join -> join, e.g. when updating a
display name or avatar URL for restricted rooms.
This fixes a "Event not signed by authorising server" error when
transition room member from join -> join, e.g. when updating a
display name or avatar URL for restricted rooms.
This follows a correction made in twisted/twisted#1664 and should fix our Twisted Trial CI job.
Until that change is in a twisted release, we'll have to ignore the type
of the `host` argument. I've raised #10899 to remind us to review the
issue in a few months' time.
Fix event context for outlier causing failures in all of the MSC2716
Complement tests.
The `EventContext.for_outlier` refactor happened in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10883
and this spot was left out.
* Pull out GetUserDirectoryTables helper
* Don't rebuild the dir in tests that don't need it
In #10796 I changed registering a user to add directory entries under.
This means we don't have to force a directory regbuild in to tests of
the user directory search.
* Move test_initial to tests/storage
* Add type hints to both test_user_directory files

Broadly, the existing `event_auth.check` function has two parts:
* a validation section: checks that the event isn't too big, that it has the rught signatures, etc.
This bit is independent of the rest of the state in the room, and so need only be done once
for each event.
* an auth section: ensures that the event is allowed, given the rest of the state in the room.
This gets done multiple times, against various sets of room state, because it forms part of
the state res algorithm.
Currently, this is implemented with `do_sig_check` and `do_size_check` parameters, but I think
that makes everything hard to follow. Instead, we split the function in two and call each part
separately where it is needed.
Before Synapse 1.31 (#9411), we relied on `outlier` being stored in the
`internal_metadata` column. We can now assume nobody will roll back their
deployment that far and drop the legacy support.
* Inline `_check_event_auth` for outliers
When we are persisting an outlier, most of `_check_event_auth` is redundant:
* `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` does nothing, because the
`input_auth_events` are (now) exactly the event's auth_events,
which means that `missing_auth` is empty.
* we don't care about soft-fail, kicking guest users or `send_on_behalf_of`
for outliers
... so the only thing that matters is the auth itself, so let's just do that.
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`: de-async `prep`
`prep` no longer calls any `async` methods, so let's make it synchronous.
* Simplify `_check_event_auth`
We no longer need to support outliers here, which makes things rather simpler.
* changelog
* lint
Currently we use `JsonEncoder.iterencode` to write JSON responses, which ensures that we don't block the main reactor thread when encoding huge objects. The downside to this is that `iterencode` falls back to using a pure Python encoder that is *much* less efficient and can easily burn a lot of CPU for huge responses. To fix this, while still ensuring we don't block the reactor loop, we encode the JSON on a threadpool using the standard `JsonEncoder.encode` functions, which is backed by a C library.
Doing so, however, requires `respond_with_json` to have access to the reactor, which it previously didn't. There are two ways of doing this:
1. threading through the reactor object, which is a bit fiddly as e.g. `DirectServeJsonResource` doesn't currently take a reactor, but is exposed to modules and so is a PITA to change; or
2. expose the reactor in `SynapseRequest`, which requires updating a bunch of servlet types.
I went with the latter as that is just a mechanical change, and I think makes sense as a request already has a reactor associated with it (via its http channel).
