Currently synapse returns `M_FORBIDDEN` when trying to use the account
deactivation API, if the server admin disabled displayname changes. This
is undesirable, since it prevents GDPR erasure without admin
interaction. The admin API seems to work fine though. This also only
seems to affect the deactivate API, when the erase flag is true.
Relevant endpoint:
https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3accountdeactivate
This change only removes the checked for condition that the displayname
and profile avatar are allowed to be changed per the configuration
setting. If a user is deleting themselves, why is that denied?
There did not seem to be a basic test for this endpoint that checks the
`erase` usage, so that was added as well as checking the above mentioned
behavior.
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.
Previously, the response status of `HTMLResource` was hardcoded as
`200`. However, for proper redirection after the user verifies their
email, we require the status to be `302`. This PR addresses that issue
by using `code` as response status.
