SynapseRequest is in danger of becoming a bit of a dumping-ground for "useful stuff relating to Requests",
which isn't really its intention (its purpose is to override render, finished and connectionLost to set up the
LoggingContext and write the right entries to the request log).
Putting utility functions inside SynapseRequest means that lots of our code ends up requiring a
SynapseRequest when there is nothing synapse-specific about the Request at all, and any old
twisted.web.iweb.IRequest will do. This increases code coupling and makes testing more difficult.
In short: move get_user_agent out to a utility function.
This is another part of my work towards fixing #8876. It moves some of the logic currently in the SAML and OIDC handlers - in particular the call to `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login` down into the `SsoHandler`.
* move simple_async_mock to test_utils
... so that it can be re-used
* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.
* changelog
This was broken in #8801 when abstracting code shared with OIDC.
After this change both SAML and OIDC have a concept of
grandfathering users, but with different implementations.
