We asserted that the IDs returned by postgres sequence was greater than
any we had seen, however this is technically racey as we may update the
current positions out of order.
We now assert that the sequences are correct on startup, so the
assertion is no longer really required, so we remove them.
* Fix outbound federaion with multiple event persisters.
We incorrectly notified federation senders that the minimum persisted
stream position had advanced when we got an `RDATA` from an event
persister.
Notifying of federation senders already correctly happens in the
notifier, so we just delete the offending line.
* Change some interfaces to use RoomStreamToken.
By enforcing use of `RoomStreamTokens` we make it less likely that
people pass in random ints that they got from somewhere random.
After https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8377, the deb packages no longer indirectly installed the `"test"` dependencies, causing debian packages to fail to build while carrying out the unit tests.
This PR installs `test` dependencies explicitly when building debian packages.
Currently background proccesses stream the events stream use the "minimum persisted position" (i.e. `get_current_token()`) rather than the vector clock style tokens. This is broadly fine as it doesn't matter if the background processes lag a small amount. However, in extreme cases (i.e. SyTests) where we only write to one event persister the background processes will never make progress.
This PR changes it so that the `MultiWriterIDGenerator` keeps the current position of a given instance as up to date as possible (i.e using the latest token it sees if its not in the process of persisting anything), and then periodically announces that over replication. This then allows the "minimum persisted position" to advance, albeit with a small lag.
This could, very occasionally, cause:

This PR allows Synapse modules making use of the `ModuleApi` to create and send non-membership events into a room. This can useful to have modules send messages, or change power levels in a room etc. Note that they must send event through a user that's already in the room.
The non-membership event limitation is currently arbitrary, as it's another chunk of work and not necessary at the moment.

Added shields directing to synapse-dev room, showing license, latest version on PyPi and supported Python versions.
I've moved substitution definitions to the bottom to improve readability.

We call `_update_stream_positions_table_txn` a lot, which is an UPSERT
that can conflict in `REPEATABLE READ` isolation level. Instead of doing
a transaction consisting of a single query we may as well run it outside
of a transaction.
