Fix end-to-end tests for recent Synapse features (#8159)

* Ensure a useful logfile gets recorded for synapse startup failures

* Update synapse config to stop complaining about key servers

* Add flag to turn on registrations again

+# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
+# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which

+# 'trusted_key_servers' defaults to matrix.org, but using it will generate a

+#
+# Options for each entry in the list include:
+#
+#    server_name: the name of the server. required.
+#
+#    verify_keys: an optional map from key id to base64-encoded public key.

+#       and are sure that your network environment provides a secure connection
+#       to the key server, you can set this to `true` to override this
+#       behaviour.
