Merge tag 'v1.64.0rc2' into develop
Synapse 1.64.0rc2 (2022-07-29)
==============================
This RC reintroduces support for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in a future release. ([\#13406](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13406))
Previously, TLS could only be used with STARTTLS.
Add a new option `force_tls`, where TLS is used from the start.
Implicit TLS is recommended over STARTLS,
see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8314Fixes#8046.

* Admin API request explanation improved
Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.
* Admin API request explanation improved
* Apply suggestions from code review
Update changelog. Reword prose.

* Drop support for delegating email validation
Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.
* Update unit test which checks for email verification
Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate
* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`
* Simplify config handling for email verification
Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.
* update docs
* changelog
* upgrade.md: fix typo
* update version number
this will be in 1.64, not 1.63
* update version number
this one too
