Lots of different module apis is not easy to maintain.
Rather than adding yet another ModuleApi(hs, hs.get_auth_handler()) incantation, first add an hs.get_module_api() method and use it where possible.
slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.
This is split out from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7438, which had gotten rather large.
`LoginRestServlet` has a couple helper methods, `login_submission_legacy_convert` and `login_id_thirdparty_from_phone`. They're primarily used for converting legacy user login submissions to "identifier" dicts ([see spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-login)). Identifying information such as usernames or 3PID information used to be top-level in the login body. They're now supposed to be put inside an [identifier](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#identifier-types) parameter instead.
#7438's purpose is to allow using the new identifier parameter during User-Interactive Authentication, which is currently handled in AuthHandler. That's why I've moved these helper methods there. I also moved the refactoring of these method from #7438 as they're relevant.
The CI appears to use the latest version of isort, which is a problem when isort gets a major version bump. Rather than try to pin the version, I've done the necessary to make isort5 happy with synapse.
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause messages not to be sent over federation, when state events with state keys matching user IDs (such as custom user statuses) were received. ([\#7376](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7376))
- Restore compatibility with non-compliant clients during the user interactive authentication process, fixing a problem introduced in v1.13.0rc1. ([\#7483](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7483))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Fix linting errors in new version of Flake8. ([\#7470](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7470))

Documentation on setting up redis (#7446)
Rework UI Auth session validation for registration (#7455)
Fix errors from malformed log line (#7454)
Drop support for redis.dbid (#7450)
By persisting the user interactive authentication sessions to the database, this fixes
situations where a user hits different works throughout their auth session and also
allows sessions to persist through restarts of Synapse.
We were doing this in a number of places which meant that some login
code paths incremented the counter multiple times.
It was also applying ratelimiting to UIA endpoints, which was probably
not intentional.
In particular, some custom auth modules were calling
`check_user_exists`, which incremented the counters, meaning that people
would fail to login sometimes.
Pull the checkers out to their own classes, rather than having them lost in a
massive 1000-line class which does everything.
This is also preparation for some more intelligent advertising of flows, as per #6100
This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)
