This arises mostly from my recent experience adding a stream for Thread
Subscriptions
and trying to help others add their own streams.

Added configuration details for Nginx Proxy Manager including proxy host
setup, SSL/TLS settings, and advanced configurations for change the
Federation Port.
It is often useful when investigating a space to get information about
that space and it's children. This PR adds an Admin API to return
information about a space and it's children, regardless of room
membership. Will not fetch information over federation about remote
rooms that the server is not participating in.
I couldn't really find any documentation regarding how to setup TLS
communication between Synapse and Redis, so I looked through the source
code and found it. I figured I should go ahead and document it here.
Add debug logs wherever we change current logcontext (`LoggingContext`).
I've had to make this same set of changes over and over as I've been
debugging things so it seems useful enough to include by default.
Instead of tracing things at the `set_current_context(...)` level, I've
added the debug logging on all of the utilities that utilize
`set_current_context(...)`. It's much easier to reason about the log
context changing because of `PreserveLoggingContext` changing things
than an opaque `set_current_context(...)` call.

Also adds a section in the docs explaining the `sentinel` logcontext.

### Testing strategy
1. Run Synapse normally and with `daemonize: true`: `poetry run
synapse_homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml`
1. Execute some requests
1. Shutdown the server
1. Look for any bad log entries in your homeserver logs:
- `Expected logging context sentinel but found main`
- `Expected logging context main was lost`
- `Expected previous context`
- `utime went backwards!`/`stime went backwards!`
- `Called stop on logcontext POST-0 without recording a start rusage`
- `Background process re-entered without a proc`
Twisted trial tests:
1. Run full Twisted trial test suite.
1. Check the logs for `Test starting with non-sentinel logging context ...`
This can be reviewed commit by commit
There are a few improvements over the experimental support:
- authorisation of Synapse <-> MAS requests is simplified, with a single
shared secret, removing the need for provisioning a client on the MAS
side
- the tests actually spawn a real server, allowing us to test the rust
introspection layer
- we now check that the device advertised in introspection actually
exist, making it so that when a user logs out, the tokens are
immediately invalidated, even if the cache doesn't expire
- it doesn't rely on discovery anymore, rather on a static endpoint
base. This means users don't have to override the introspection endpoint
to avoid internet roundtrips
- it doesn't depend on `authlib` anymore, as we simplified a lot the
calls done from Synapse to MAS
We still have to update the MAS documentation about the Synapse setup,
but that can be done later.

Fix https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18735
In https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18670, we updated
`run_as_background_process` to add a `server_name` argument. Because
this function is directly exported from the Synapse module API, this is
a breaking change to any downstream Synapse modules that use
`run_as_background_process`.
This PR shims and deprecates the existing
`run_as_background_process(...)` for modules by providing a stub
`server_name` value and introduces a new
`ModuleApi.run_as_background_process(...)` that covers the `server_name`
logic automagically.
Bulk refactor `Gauge` metrics to be homeserver-scoped. We also add lints
to make sure that new `Gauge` metrics don't sneak in without using the
`server_name` label (`SERVER_NAME_LABEL`).
Part of https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18592
### Testing strategy
1. Add the `metrics` listener in your `homeserver.yaml`
```yaml
listeners:
# This is just showing how to configure metrics either way
#
# `http` `metrics` resource
- port: 9322
type: http
bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']
resources:
- names: [metrics]
compress: false
# `metrics` listener
- port: 9323
type: metrics
bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']
```
1. Start the homeserver: `poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path
homeserver.yaml`
1. Fetch `http://localhost:9322/_synapse/metrics` and/or
`http://localhost:9323/metrics`
1. Observe response includes the TODO metrics with the `server_name`
label
### Pull Request Checklist
<!-- Please read
https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html
before submitting your pull request -->
* [x] Pull request is based on the develop branch
* [x] Pull request includes a [changelog
file](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#changelog).
The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
- Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
- End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
- Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the
entry.
* [x] [Code
style](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/code_style.html) is
correct (run the
[linters](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters))
Default values will be 1 room per minute, with a burst count of 10.
It's hard to imagine most users will be affected by this default rate,
but it's intentionally non-invasive in case of bots or other users that
need to create rooms at a large rate.
Server admins might want to down-tune this on their deployments.

Best reviewed commit by commit.
With the new dedicated MAS API
(https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18520), it's possible that
deactivation starts off the main process, which was not possible because
of a few calls.
I basically looked at everything that the deactivation handler was
doing, reviewed whether it could run on workers or not, and find a
workaround when possible
