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`).
This avoids the overhead of searching through the various
configuration classes by directly referencing the class that
the attributes are in.
It also improves type hints since mypy can now resolve the
types of the configuration variables.
Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
