PKCE can protect against certain attacks and is enabled by default. Support
can be controlled manually by setting the pkce_method of each oidc_providers
entry to 'auto' (default), 'always', or 'never'.
This is required by Twitter OAuth 2.0 support.
If configured an OIDC IdP can log a user's session out of
Synapse when they log out of the identity provider.
The IdP sends a request directly to Synapse (and must be
configured with an endpoint) when a user logs out.
* Pull runtime dep checks into their own module
* Reimplement `check_requirements` using `importlib`
I've tried to make this clearer. We start by working out which of
Synapse's requirements we need to be installed here and now. I was
surprised that there wasn't an easier way to see which packages were
installed by a given extra.
I've pulled out the error messages into functions that deal with "is
this for an extra or not". And I've rearranged the loop over two
different sets of requirements into one loop with a "must be instaled"
flag.
I hope you agree that this is clearer.
* Test cases
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
