Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.60.0rc1 that would break some imports from `synapse.module_api`.

### `check_event_for_spam`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0_
_Signature extended to support Allow and Code in Synapse v1.60.0_
_Boolean and string return value types deprecated in Synapse v1.60.0_
_Changed in Synapse v1.60.0: `synapse.module_api.NOT_SPAM` and `synapse.module_api.errors.Codes` can be returned by this callback. Returning a boolean or a string is now deprecated._

Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The callback must return either:
- `synapse.module_api.ALLOW`, to allow the operation. Other callbacks
may still decide to reject it.
- `synapse.api.Codes` to reject the operation with an error code. In case
of doubt, `synapse.api.error.Codes.FORBIDDEN` is a good error code.
- (deprecated) a `str` to reject the operation and specify an error message. Note that clients

- `synapse.module_api.errors.Codes` to reject the operation with an error code. In case
of doubt, `synapse.module_api.errors.Codes.FORBIDDEN` is a good error code.
- (deprecated) a non-`Codes` `str` to reject the operation and specify an error message. Note that clients
typically will not localize the error message to the user's preferred locale.
- (deprecated) on `False`, behave as `ALLOW`. Deprecated as confusing, as some
callbacks in expect `True` to allow and others `True` to reject.
- (deprecated) on `True`, behave as `synapse.api.error.Codes.FORBIDDEN`. Deprecated as confusing, as
some callbacks in expect `True` to allow and others `True` to reject.
- (deprecated) `False`, which is the same as returning `synapse.module_api.NOT_SPAM`.
- (deprecated) `True`, which is the same as returning `synapse.module_api.errors.Codes.FORBIDDEN`.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `synapse.module_api.ALLOW`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the
first callback that does not return `synapse.module_api.ALLOW` will be used. If this happens, Synapse
will not call any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.

## SpamChecker API's `check_event_for_spam` has a new signature.
## New signature for the spam checker callback `check_event_for_spam`
The previous signature has been deprecated.
Whereas `check_event_for_spam` callbacks used to return `Union[str, bool]`, they should now return `Union["synapse.module_api.Allow", "synapse.module_api.errors.Codes"]`.
Whereas `check_event_for_spam` callbacks used to return `Union[str, bool]`, they should now return `Union["synapse.module_api.NOT_SPAM", "synapse.module_api.errors.Codes"]`.
This is part of an ongoing refactoring of the SpamChecker API to make it less ambiguous and more powerful.
