Roughly reviewable commit-by-commit.
This is the first part of adding policy server support to Synapse. Other
parts (unordered), which may or may not be bundled into fewer PRs,
include:
* Implementation of a bulk API
* Supporting a moderation server config (the `fallback_*` options of
https://github.com/element-hq/policyserv_spam_checker )
* Adding an "early event hook" for appservices to receive federation
transactions *before* events are processed formally
* Performance and stability improvements
