Stabilize the threads API (MSC3856) by supporting (only) the v1
path for the endpoint.
This also marks the API as safe for workers since it is a read-only
API.
When we run a worker-mode synapse under docker, everything gets logged to stdout. Currently, output from the workers is tacked with a worker name, for example:
```
2022-04-13 15:27:56,810 - worker:frontend_proxy1 - synapse.util.caches.lrucache - 154 - INFO - LruCache._expire_old_entries-0 - Dropped 0 items from caches
```
- note `worker:frontend_proxy1`. No such tag is applied to log lines from the master, which makes somewhat confusing reading.
To fix this, we generate a dedicated log config file for the master in the same way that we do for the workers, and use that.
This PR adds a Dockerfile and some supporting files to the `docker/` directory. The Dockerfile's intention is to spin up a container with:
* A Synapse main process.
* Any desired worker processes, defined by a `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable supplied at runtime.
* A redis for worker communication.
* A nginx for routing traffic.
* A supervisord to start all worker processes and monitor them if any go down.
Note that **this is not currently intended to be used in production**. If you'd like to use Synapse workers with Docker, instead make use of the official image, with one worker per container. The purpose of this dockerfile is currently to allow testing Synapse in worker mode with the [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/) test suite.
`configure_workers_and_start.py` is where most of the magic happens in this PR. It reads from environment variables (documented in the file) and creates all necessary config files for the processes. It is the entrypoint of the Dockerfile, and thus is run any time the docker container is spun up, recreating all config files in case you want to use a different set of workers. One can specify which workers they'd like to use by setting the `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable (as a comma-separated list of arbitrary worker names) or by setting it to `*` for all worker processes. We will be using the latter in CI.
Huge thanks to @MatMaul for helping get this all working 🎉 This PR is paired with its equivalent on the Complement side: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/62.
Note, for the purpose of testing this PR before it's merged: You'll need to (re)build the base Synapse docker image for everything to work (`matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`). Then build the worker-based docker image on top (`matrixdotorg/synapse:workers`).
