Restore --tags=import-synapse-sqlite-db support

Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/2669

Removed in 04b9483f0d (2022-11-28) when switching from matrix-postgres to
the devture-postgres external Ansible role.
More details: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#matrix-postgres-has-been-replaced-by-the-comdevtureansiblerolepostgres-external-role

The `import_synapse_sqlite_db.yml` file and documentation has been adapted somewhat compared to before, so that:

- it doesn't try to start Postgres automatically. You need to handle
  this part manually
- it doesn't rely on the integrated Postgres and may potentially work
  with external Postgres instances just the same
- it doesn't wipe out the whole database anymore. By default, we assume
  it's empty anyway and there's no need for such things. If it's not,
  then it's also probably dangerous to be so destructive.

This is all completely untested, but will hopefully work.

Run this if you'd like to import your database from a previous default installation of Synapse.
(don't forget to import your `media_store` files as well - see [the importing-synapse-media-store guide](importing-synapse-media-store.md)).
While this playbook always sets up PostgreSQL, by default a Synapse installation would run
using an SQLite database.
While this playbook only supports running Synapse in combination with PostgreSQL, a Synapse instance installed manually usually defaults to using an SQLite database.
If you have such a Synapse setup and wish to migrate it here (and over to PostgreSQL), this command is for you.
If you have such a Synapse setup and wish to migrate it to one managed by the playbook (and over to PostgreSQL), this documentation page is for you.
## Prerequisites
Before doing the actual import, **you need to upload your SQLite database file to the server** (any path is okay).
Before doing the actual import:
- **ensure you have NOT started Synapse yet**. That is, make sure you have followed the [Installing step](installing.md), but haven't run the playbook's `start` tag yet. If you had started your new Synapse instance, it may have already initialized your Postgres database and importing onto it may not work. In such cases, you may need to clean up the `synapse` database first.
- **ensure you have uploaded your SQLite database file to the server** (any path is okay)
- if you're using the integrated Postgres server (**by default, you are** using it, unless you've explicitly switched to [Using an external PostgreSQL server](configuring-playbook-external-postgres.md)), **make sure Postgres is started** by running `just start-group postgres`
## Importing
Run this command (make sure to replace `<server-path-to-homeserver.db>` with a file path on your server):
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='server_path_homeserver_db=<server-path-to-homeserver.db>' --tags=import-synapse-sqlite-db
```sh
just run-tags import-synapse-sqlite-db --extra-vars=server_path_homeserver_db=<server-path-to-homeserver.db>
```
**Notes**:
- `<server-path-to-homeserver.db>` must be a file path to a `homeserver.db` **file on the server** (not on your local machine!).
- `<server-path-to-homeserver.db>` must be replaced with a file path to a `homeserver.db` **file on the server** (not on your local machine!).
- if the SQLite database is from an older version of Synapse, the **importing procedure may run migrations on it to bring it up to date**. That is, your SQLite database file may get modified and become unusable with your older Synapse version. Keeping a copy of the original is probably wise.
