We hit a problem where an 8-hour event search query (which the client had already walked away from) caused Postgres to not be able to vacuum, which in turn causes general DB slowness and notably
updating stream positions was slow, so event persistence was slow and an apdex page was raised.

I propose that we limit statements to 1 hour by default. I propose that we consider anything taking more than 1 hour to be a bug as it blocks Postgres from vacuuming, which is more or less essential housekeeping.

I considered going tighter but I am not sure if some of our background or admin operations might rely on longer-running queries and I think I would rather start at 1 hour and tighten later if we think that is sensible.

This limit is technically configurable but we also don't document synchronous_commit so I have chosen not to document this for now.

This release
 - raises the minimum supported version of Python to 3.8, as Python 3.7 is now [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/versions/), and
 - removes deprecated config options related to worker deployment.

See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.88/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1880) for more information.

- Revert "Stop writing to column `user_id` of tables `profiles` and `user_filters`", which was introduced in Synapse 1.88.0rc1. ([\matrix-org#15953](matrix-org#15953))

- Add `not_user_type` param to the [list accounts admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.88/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#list-accounts). ([\matrix-org#15844](matrix-org#15844))

- Pin `pydantic` to `^=1.7.4` to avoid backwards-incompatible API changes from the 2.0.0 release.
  Contributed by @PaarthShah. ([\matrix-org#15862](matrix-org#15862))
- Correctly resize thumbnails with pillow version >=10. ([\matrix-org#15876](matrix-org#15876))

- Fixed header levels on the [Admin API "Users"](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.87/admin_api/user_admin_api.html) documentation page. Contributed by @sumnerevans at @beeper. ([\matrix-org#15852](matrix-org#15852))
- Remove deprecated `worker_replication_host`, `worker_replication_http_port` and `worker_replication_http_tls` configuration options. ([\matrix-org#15872](matrix-org#15872))

- **Remove deprecated `worker_replication_host`, `worker_replication_http_port` and `worker_replication_http_tls` configuration options.** See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.88/docs/upgrade.md#removal-of-worker_replication_-settings) for more details. ([\matrix-org#15860](matrix-org#15860))

- Add foreign key constraint to `event_forward_extremities`. ([\matrix-org#15751](matrix-org#15751), [\matrix-org#15907](matrix-org#15907))
- Add read/write style cross-worker locks. ([\matrix-org#15782](matrix-org#15782))
- Stop writing to column `user_id` of tables `profiles` and `user_filters`. ([\matrix-org#15787](matrix-org#15787))
- Use lower isolation level when cleaning old presence stream data to avoid serialization errors. ([\matrix-org#15826](matrix-org#15826))
- Add tracing to media `/upload` code paths. ([\matrix-org#15850](matrix-org#15850), [\matrix-org#15888](matrix-org#15888))
- Add a timeout that aborts any Postgres statement taking more than 1 hour. ([\matrix-org#15853](matrix-org#15853))
- Fix the `devenv up` configuration which was ignoring the config overrides. ([\matrix-org#15854](matrix-org#15854))
- Optimised cleanup of old entries in `device_lists_stream`. ([\matrix-org#15861](matrix-org#15861))
- Update the Matrix clients link in the _It works! Synapse is running_ landing page. ([\matrix-org#15874](matrix-org#15874))
