Rather than using a Mock for the homeserver config, use a genuine
HomeServerConfig object. This makes for a more realistic test, and means that
we don't have to keep remembering to add things to the mock config every time
we add a new config setting.
The Mailer expects the config object to have `email_smtp_pass` and
`email_riot_base_url` attributes (and it won't by default, because the default
config impl doesn't set any of the attributes unless email_enable_notifs is
set).
Make it so that most options in the config are optional, and commented out in
the generated config.
The reasons this is a good thing are as follows:
* If we decide that we should change the default for an option, we can do so,
and only those admins that have deliberately chosen to override that option
will be stuck on the old setting.
* It moves us towards a point where we can get rid of the super-surprising
feature of synapse where the default settings for the config come from the
generated yaml.
* It makes setting up a test config for unit testing an order of magnitude
easier (see forthcoming PR).
* It makes the generated config more consistent, and hopefully easier for users
to understand.
This setup is a way to manage workers with systemd. It does however not
require workers. You can use this setup without workers. You just have
to make sure that the homeserver is forking and writes its PID file
to the location the service is looking in.
The currently distributed setup in the debian package does not work in
conjunction with workers.

synapse side.
* Formats readme to 80 columns per line
