Expose other worker types as console_scripts

[f0x52]

Currently only the synapse_homeserver (app.homeserver:main) and synapse_worker (app.generic_worker:main) binaries get generated and added to PATH by setuptools.
It would be nice to have executables in path to start the other types of workers as well, like pusher, appservice and federation_send.

This could be done through console_scripts definitions for each, or a more generic synapse_worker(s) script that allows you to choose the kind of worker you want to start with a flag.

It'd be better to spend this work on getting rid of the dedicated types of workers (#10441).

ah this is apparently not even needed at all, because since #6964 you can just execute all types with synapse_worker + the appropriate worker_app type in it's config, would be good if the documentation reflected that.

the only current documentation I could really find on actually running a worker process was https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/systemd-with-workers/system/matrix-synapse-worker%40.service though :\

Agreed, the workers documentation is sorely lacking: #9072.

I'm going to go ahead and close this since it seems the original issue is resolved.
