(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
This is so that a single MediaRepository can be shared across all
resources, rather than having a "copy" per resource.
In particular this allows us to guard against both the thumbnail and
download resource triggering a download of remote content at the same
time.
This tracks data about the entity which made the request. This is
instead of passing around a tuple, which requires call-site
modifications every time a new piece of optional context is passed
around.
I tried to introduce a User object. I gave up.
This follows the same flows-based flow as regular registration, but as
the only implemented flow has no requirements, it auto-succeeds. In the
future, other flows (e.g. captcha) may be required, so clients should
treat this like the regular registration flow choices.
Removes device_id and ClientInfo
device_id is never actually written, and the matrix.org DB has no
non-null entries for it. Right now, it's just cluttering up code.
This doesn't remove the columns from the database, because that's
fiddly.
