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

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))
