Spawning from adding some logcontext debug logs in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18966 and since we're not
logging at the `set_current_context(...)` level (see reasoning there),
this removes some usage of `set_current_context(...)`.
Specifically, `MockClock.call_later(...)` doesn't handle logcontexts
correctly. It uses the calling logcontext as the callback context
(wrong, as the logcontext could finish before the callback finishes) and
it didn't reset back to the sentinel context before handing back to the
reactor. It was like this since it was [introduced 10+ years
ago](38da9884e7).
Instead of fixing the implementation which would just be a copy of our
normal `Clock`, we can just remove `MockClock`
Introduce `Clock.call_when_running(...)` to wrap startup code in a
logcontext, ensuring we can identify which server generated the logs.
Background:
> Ideally, nothing from the Synapse homeserver would be logged against the `sentinel`
> logcontext as we want to know which server the logs came from. In practice, this is not
> always the case yet especially outside of request handling.
>
> Global things outside of Synapse (e.g. Twisted reactor code) should run in the
> `sentinel` logcontext. It's only when it calls into application code that a logcontext
> gets activated. This means the reactor should be started in the `sentinel` logcontext,
> and any time an awaitable yields control back to the reactor, it should reset the
> logcontext to be the `sentinel` logcontext. This is important to avoid leaking the
> current logcontext to the reactor (which would then get picked up and associated with
> the next thing the reactor does).

Also adds a lint to prefer `Clock.call_when_running(...)` over
`reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`

During the migration the automated script to update the copyright
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.

Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

ExpiringCache required that `start()` be called before it would actually
start expiring entries. A number of places didn't do that.
This PR removes `start` from ExpiringCache, and automatically starts
backround reaping process on creation instead.
