Finish up work to allow per-user feature flags (#17392)
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.

Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.

# Experimental Features API
This API allows a server administrator to enable or disable some experimental features on a per-user
basis. The currently supported features are:
- [MSC3881](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3881): enable remotely toggling push notifications
for another client
To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api/).
## Enabling/Disabling Features
This API allows a server administrator to enable experimental features for a given user. The request must
provide a body containing the user id and listing the features to enable/disable in the following format:
```json
{
"features": {
"msc3026":true,
"msc3881":true
}
}
```
where true is used to enable the feature, and false is used to disable the feature.
The API is:
```
PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/experimental_features/<user_id>
```
## Listing Enabled Features
To list which features are enabled/disabled for a given user send a request to the following API:
```
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/experimental_features/<user_id>
```
It will return a list of possible features and indicate whether they are enabled or disabled for the
user like so:
```json
{
"features": {
"msc3026": true,
"msc3881": false,
"msc3967": false
}
}
```
