This is an attempt to get fewer people setting up their server with a server name of matrix.whatever.tld. Any suggestions for improvements here are welcome but I think this is already much better than the current 5 year old description of server_name.

This also mentions that the server name should be lowercase like mentioned in #7728 but that issue should probably still be kept open until it is actually validated.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
  • Pull request includes a sign off
  • Code style is correct (run the linters)

Update chat/matrix-synapse to 1.21.2
0582f7e 
Synapse 1.21.2 (2020-10-15)
===========================

Debian packages and Docker images have been rebuilt using the latest versions of dependency libraries, including authlib 0.15.1. Please see bugfixes below.

Security advisory
-----------------

* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS)
  attacks. All server administrators are encouraged to upgrade.
  ([\#8444](matrix-org/synapse#8444))
  ([CVE-2020-26891](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26891))

  This fix was originally included in v1.21.0 but was missing a security advisory.

  This was reported by [Denis Kasak](https://github.com/dkasak).

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix rare bug where sending an event would fail due to a racey assertion. ([\#8530](matrix-org/synapse#8530))
- An updated version of the authlib dependency is included in the Docker and Debian images to fix an issue using OpenID Connect. See [\#8534](matrix-org/synapse#8534) for details.


Synapse 1.21.1 (2020-10-13)
===========================

This release fixes a regression in v1.21.0 that prevented debian packages from being built.
It is otherwise identical to v1.21.0.

Synapse 1.21.0 (2020-10-12)
===========================

No significant changes since v1.21.0rc3.

As [noted in
v1.20.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.21.0/CHANGES.md#synapse-1200-2020-09-22),
a future release will drop support for accessing Synapse's
[Admin API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api) under the
`/_matrix/client/*` endpoint prefixes. At that point, the Admin API will only
be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.


Synapse 1.21.0rc3 (2020-10-08)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

Internal Changes
----------------

- Add Groovy Gorilla to the list of distributions we build `.deb`s for. ([\#8475](matrix-org/synapse#8475))

==============================

Features
--------

- Convert additional templates from inline HTML to Jinja2 templates. ([\#8444](matrix-org/synapse#8444))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a regression in v1.21.0rc1 which broke thumbnails of remote media. ([\#8438](matrix-org/synapse#8438))
- Do not expose the experimental `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` flow in the login API, which caused a compatibility problem with Element iOS. ([\#8440](matrix-org/synapse#8440))
- Fix malformed log line in new federation "catch up" logic. ([\#8442](matrix-org/synapse#8442))
- Fix DB query on startup for negative streams which caused long start up times. Introduced in [\#8374](matrix-org/synapse#8374). ([\#8447](matrix-org/synapse#8447))
