As an alternative, we should probably find a way to run one or a few
more generic workers (which will handle appservice and user_dir stuff) and
update `homeserver.yaml` so that it would point to the name of these workers using
`notify_appservices_from_worker` and `update_user_directory_from_worker` options.
For now, this solves the deprecation, so we can have a peace of mind
going forward.
We're force-setting these worker counts to 0, so that we can clean up
existing homeservers which use these worker types. In the future, these
options will either be removed or repurposed (so that they transparently
create more generic workers that handle user_dir/appservice loads).
This switches the playbook from devture/rust-synapse-compress-state (a
container image which wraps the upstream-prebuilt amd64 binary of
rust-synapse-compress-state) to registry.gitlab.com/mb-saces/rust-synapse-compress-state
(https://gitlab.com/mb-saces/rust-synapse-compress-state), which builds
rust-synapse-compress-state from source and provides a multi-arch image
that currently works on amd64 and arm64.
Ideally, we'll stop using `:latest` and arm32 support will be made
available upstream as well at some point.

Changed the commit hash in matrix_synapse_ext_spam_checker_mjolnir_antispam_git_version to latest. Fixes a Synapse ImportError with mjolnir v1.4.1 leading to a Synapse crash-loop.
`roles/matrix-synapse/vars/workers.yml` has not been updated here,
because running `roles/matrix-synapse/files/workers-doc-to-yaml.awk`
seems to cause some trouble with the current `workers.md` file
available at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/raw/master/docs/workers.md,
namely lots of:
> FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
lines and commented out regex lines.
This is something that remains to be investigated/fixed.
For now, we disable the new `com.devture.shared_secret_auth` login type
by default, because it causes problems with Element:

This also becomes the first module to use the new Synapse module system
that got introduced in Synapse v1.46.0.
Despite these upgrades, things should remain functionally identical
as far as bridges, matrix-corporal or other consumers are concerned.
This also removes the `matrix_synapse_version_arm64` variable we've
been dragging around for a long time.
Since https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11810, a multiarch Synapse
container image (for AMD64 and ARM64) is released at the same time.
v1.50.0 was found to be buggy for people using a `webclient` listener.
This is fixed in v1.50.1.
We don't use such a listener, so we weren't affected anyway.
