Support RFC7636 PKCE in the OAuth 2.0 flow. (#14750)
PKCE can protect against certain attacks and is enabled by default. Support
can be controlled manually by setting the pkce_method of each oidc_providers
entry to 'auto' (default), 'always', or 'never'.

This is required by Twitter OAuth 2.0 support.

Support non-OpenID compliant user info endpoints (#14753)
OpenID specifies the format of the user info endpoint and some
OAuth 2.0 IdPs do not follow it, e.g. NextCloud and Twitter.

This adds subject_template and picture_template options to the
default mapping provider for more flexibility in matching those user
info responses.

Allow selecting "prejoin" events by state keys (#14642)
* Declare new config

* Parse new config

* Read new config

* Don't use trial/our TestCase where it's not needed

Before:

```
$ time trial tests/events/test_utils.py > /dev/null

real	0m2.277s
user	0m2.186s
sys	0m0.083s
```

After:
```
$ time trial tests/events/test_utils.py > /dev/null

real	0m0.566s
user	0m0.508s
sys	0m0.056s
```

* Helper to upsert to event fields

without exceeding size limits.

* Use helper when adding invite/knock state

Now that we allow admins to include events in prejoin room state with
arbitrary state keys, be a good Matrix citizen and ensure they don't
accidentally create an oversized event.

* Changelog

* Move StateFilter tests

should have done this in #14668

* Add extra methods to StateFilter

* Use StateFilter

* Ensure test file enforces typed defs; alphabetise

* Workaround surprising get_current_state_ids

* Whoops, fix mypy

Update worker docs to update preferred settings for pusher and federation_sender (#14493)
* Fix one typo on line 3700(and apparently do something to other lines, no idea)

* Update config_documentation.md with more information about how federation_senders and pushers settings can be handled.

Specifically, that the instance map style of config does not require the special other variables that enable and disable functionality and that a single worker CAN be added to the map not only just two or more.

* Extra line here for consistency and appearance.

* Add link to sygnal repo.

* Add deprecation notice to workers.md and point to the newer alternative method of defining this functionality.

* Changelog

* Correct version number of Synapse the deprecation is happening in.

* Update quiet deprecation with simple notice and suggestion.

Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.

Drop support for delegating email validation (#13192)
* Drop support for delegating email validation

Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.

* Update unit test which checks for email verification

Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate

* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`

* Simplify config handling for email verification

Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.

* update docs

* changelog

* upgrade.md: fix typo

* update version number

this will be in 1.64, not 1.63

* update version number

Sean Quah 053ca5f3ca Synapse 1.60.0rc2 (2022-05-27)
==============================
 
 This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
 order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
 because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
 already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
 require manual remediation.
 
 Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
 The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
 should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
 
 See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
 for more details.
 
 Features
 --------
 
 - Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12883))
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12875))
 
 Internal Changes
 ----------------
 
 - Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12887))

Remove user-visible groups/communities code (#12553)
Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:

* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
