This adds support for using the new dedicated 'MAS' API in Synapse for MAS->Synapse communication introduced in element-hq/synapse#18520

This removes the dependency on the Synapse admin API, making it more focused, and will let us remove the fact that the shared secret is effectively a site-wide admin token.

I've kept the old implementation around so that we can gradually roll this out. The plan is:

  • include the client and server part of this API in the next MAS (0.20.0) and Synapse (1.135.0) versions
  • but opt-in by default (with the synapse_modern homeserver type)
  • make it the default in the next version, requiring Synapse 1.135.0 or later (but keep the old one under the synapse_legacy homeserver type)
  • remove the legacy API in the version after that
