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.
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.
```
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.

The original code is from @erikjohnston's branches which I've gotten in-shape to merge.
* Add master to the instance_map as part of Complement, have ReplicationEndpoint look at instance_map for master.
* Fix typo in drive by.
* Remove unnecessary worker_replication_* bits from unit tests and add master to instance_map(hopefully in the right place)
* Several updates:
1. Switch from master to main for naming the main process in the instance_map. Add useful constants for easier adjustment of names in the future.
2. Add backwards compatibility for worker_replication_* to allow time to transition to new style. Make sure to prioritize declaring main directly on the instance_map.
3. Clean up old comments/commented out code.
4. Adjust unit tests to match with new code.
5. Adjust Complement setup infrastructure to only add main to the instance_map if workers are used and remove now unused options from the worker.yaml template.
* Initial Docs upload
* Changelog
* Missed some commented out code that can go now
* Remove TODO comment that no longer holds true.
* Fix links in docs

* Fix one typo on line 3700(and apparently do something to other lines, no idea)
* Update config_documentation.md with more information about how federation_senders and pushers settings can be handled.
Specifically, that the instance map style of config does not require the special other variables that enable and disable functionality and that a single worker CAN be added to the map not only just two or more.
* Extra line here for consistency and appearance.
* Add link to sygnal repo.
* Add deprecation notice to workers.md and point to the newer alternative method of defining this functionality.
* Changelog
* Correct version number of Synapse the deprecation is happening in.
* Update quiet deprecation with simple notice and suggestion.
* Add workers settings to configuration manual
* Update `pusher_instances`
* update url to python logger
* update headlines
* update links after headline change
* remove link from `daemon process`
There is no docs in Synapse for this
* extend example for `federation_sender_instances` and `pusher_instances`
* more infos about stream writers
* add link to DAG
* update `pusher_instances`
* update `worker_listeners`
* update `stream_writers`
* Update `worker_name`

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.
* Update worker docs to remove group endpoints.
* Removes an unused parameter to `ApplicationService`.
* Break dependency between media repo and groups.
* Avoid copying `m.room.related_groups` state events during room upgrades.
...and various code supporting it.
The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.
