As stream writer workers are also powered by the `generic_worker`
Synapse app, this necessitated that we provide means for distinguishing
between them and regular `generic_workers`.
I've also taken the time to optimize nginx configuration generation
(more Jinja2 macro usage, less duplication).
Worker names have also changed.
Workers are now named sequentially like this:
- `matrix-synapse-worker-0-generic`
- `matrix-synapse-worker-1-stream-writer-typing`
- `matrix-synapse-worker-2-pusher`
instead of `matrix-synapse-worker_generic_worker-18111` (indexed with a
port number).
People who modify `matrix_synapse_workers_enabled_list` directly will
need to adjust their configuration.
* appservice: add and use matrix_homeserver_* vars
* appservice: use the new vars
* Apply suggestions from code review

Currently, Synapse workers ignore the X-Forwarded headers, which leads to internal Docker IP addresses randomly appearing in the users' device list.
This adds the `x_forwarded: true` option to the worker config, fixing the issue.

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).

Basically:
```yaml
- name: Prior to 2.13
debug:
msg: '[1] + {{ [2] }}'
- name: 2.13 and forward
debug:
msg: '{{ [1] + [2] }}'
```
Interestingly, we had been using the new/safe syntax in lofs of places.
We were using the broken one in many others though. Hopefully all
instances were fixed by this patch.
These endpoints should not be proxied to a generic Synapse worker
without other preparation (setting up stream writers, sending traffic
to a specific stream writer, etc.).
Disabling them for now. In the future, we'd like to fix up our awk
script to disable them automatically.
This is a fix up for 058fedff91
This prevented us from keeping our workers reverse-proxying definitions
updated since Synapse v1.54.0.
The last `workers.md` file we could parse is at commit
02632b3504ad4512c5f5a4f859b3fe326b19c788.
Parsing regressed at commit c56bfb08bc071368db23f3b1c593724eb4f205f0,
because the introduction message for `synapse.app.generic_worker` said
"If":
> If a worker is set up to handle a..
.. which made the AWK script think that definitions below were
conditional (which they're not in this case).
This patch fixes up the regex for determining if a line is conditional
or not, so that it doesn't trip up. Hopefully, it doesn't miss something
important.
