Generate missing configuration files at startup (#13615)
If things like the signing key file are missing, let's just try to generate

Again, this is useful for k8s-like deployments where we just want to generate

Document advising against publicly exposing the Admin API and provide a usage example (#13231)
* Admin API request explanation improved

Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
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.

* Admin API request explanation improved

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update changelog. Reword prose.

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

this one too
