It turns out that looping_call does check the deferred returned by its
callback, and (at least in the case of client_ips), we were relying on this,
and I broke it in #3604.
Update run_as_background_process to return the deferred, and make sure we
return it to clock.looping_call.
This fixes#3518, and ensures that we get useful logs and metrics for lots of
things that happen in the background.
(There are certainly more things that happen in the background; these are just
the common ones I've found running a single-process synapse locally).
Add db_conn parameters to the `__init__` methods of the *Store classes, so that
they are all consistent, which makes the multiple inheritance work correctly
(and so that we can later extract mixins which can be used in the slavedstores)
user_ips is kinda big, so really we want to add the index in the background
once we're running. Replace the schema delta with one which will do that.
I've done this in a way that's reasonably easy to reuse as there a few other
indexes I need, and I don't suppose they will be the last.
implement a GET /devices endpoint which lists all of the user's devices.
It also returns the last IP where we saw that device, so there is some dancing
to fish that out of the user_ips table.
Record the device_id when we add a client ip; it's somewhat redundant as we
could get it via the access_token, but it will make querying rather easier.
