Fixes #10125

This PR:

  • Converts UPGRADE.rst to markdown and moves the contents into the docs/ directory.
  • Updates the contents of UPGRADE.rst to point to the website instead.
  • Updates links around the codebase that point to UPGRADE.rst.

pandoc + some manual editing was used to convert from RST to md.

The command used was 'pandoc -s -o docs/upgrading/README.md UPGRADE.rst'.

I decided to keep this as a "README" file so that it appears when
navigating to upgrading/, as it's probably what people would be in that
folder for.

what is the thinking behind calling this upgrading/README.md rather than, say, upgrading.md?

what is the thinking behind calling this upgrading/README.md rather than, say, upgrading.md?

Hmm, just so that it was not top-level, but also not buried too deeply. I wonder if we'd want to make an exception for this document specifically as it may be one that people browsing GitHub/a code checkout frequently look for?

Mostly I don't see the advantage of replacing a single top-level file with a top-level directory. ymmv though.

Ah right. The idea was to follow the convention laid forth in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs#adding-to-the-documentation. However for this specific instance it's a bit murky.

It's not obvious to me that that says "everything must be in its own directory", but if that is what it says, it feels wrong?

Oh sorry. The takeaway from the link was that files should be placed in directories that match their structure in SUMMARY.md:

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blame/develop/docs/SUMMARY.md#L13-L14

Since this is under the Upgrading header, it would live in a folder called upgrading.

The second part is that the file should be named according to the title of the document, so upgrade_synapse.md. But I thought we'd deviate from that bit by calling it README.md, so that GitHub displays it immediately upon entering the docs/upgrading folder.

That's how I ended up here, but I could go either way on this file as I recognise it's one we'll want people to easily find in the repo:

  1. docs/upgrade.md
  2. docs/upgrading/README.md
  3. docs/upgrading/upgrade_synapse.md

@richvdh apologies for the lack of a decision here. I think I'm just going to go with docs/upgrade.md for now and we can move it into a folder later if we end up having more than one document (we plan to remove the MSC1711 upgrading doc) related to upgrading Synapse 🙂

mdbook operates from the perspective of the docs folder, so I believe if we put the file at docs/upgrade.md then the resulting URL will be https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade.html.

In fact, testing this locally we get http://localhost:3000/upgrade.html, so that seems correct.

The current spam checker interface is deprecated in favour of a new generic modules system. See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/upgrade.md#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface) for more information on how to update to the new system.

Relative links won't work in the release notes page though I think.

- Fix type hints for computing auth events. ([\#10253](#10253))
