Autocommit means that we don't wrap the functions in transactions, and instead get executed directly. Introduced in #8456. This will help:

  1. reduce the number of could not serialize access due to concurrent delete errors that we see (though there are a few functions that often cause serialization errors that we don't fix here);
  2. improve the DB performance, as it no longer needs to deal with the overhead of REPEATABLE READ isolation levels; and
  3. improve wall clock speed of these functions, as we no longer need to send BEGIN and COMMIT to the DB.

Some notes about the differences between autocommit mode and our default REPEATABLE READ transactions:

  1. Currently autocommit only applies when using PostgreSQL, and is ignored when using SQLite (due to silliness with Twisted DB classes).
  2. Autocommit functions may get retried on error, which means they can get applied twice (or more) to the DB (since they are not in a transaction the previous call would not get rolled back). This means that the functions need to be idempotent (or otherwise not care about being called multiple times). Read queries, simple deletes, and updates/upserts that replace rows (rather than generating new values from existing rows) are all idempotent.
  3. Autocommit functions no longer get executed in REPEATABLE READ isolation level, and so data can change queries, which is fine for single statement queries.

lgtm. Does this (mostly) fix #4993?

Annoyingly I think the majority of instances come from DB functions not covered by this PR, as they're more complicated and would require some rejigging to make safe.

Synapse 1.22.0rc1 (2020-10-22)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add a configuration option for always using the "userinfo endpoint" for OpenID Connect. This fixes support for some identity providers, e.g. GitLab. Contributed by Benjamin Koch. ([\#7658](#7658))
- Add ability for `ThirdPartyEventRules` modules to query and manipulate whether a room is in the public rooms directory. ([\#8292](#8292), [\#8467](#8467))
- Add support for olm fallback keys ([MSC2732](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2732)). ([\#8312](#8312), [\#8501](#8501))
- Add support for running background tasks in a separate worker process. ([\#8369](#8369), [\#8458](#8458), [\#8489](#8489), [\#8513](#8513), [\#8544](#8544), [\#8599](#8599))
- Add support for device dehydration ([MSC2697](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2697)). ([\#8380](#8380))
- Add support for [MSC2409](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2409), which allows sending typing, read receipts, and presence events to appservices. ([\#8437](#8437), [\#8590](#8590))
- Change default room version to "6", per [MSC2788](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2788). ([\#8461](#8461))
- Add the ability to send non-membership events into a room via the `ModuleApi`. ([\#8479](#8479))
- Increase default upload size limit from 10M to 50M. Contributed by @Akkowicz. ([\#8502](#8502))
- Add support for modifying event content in `ThirdPartyRules` modules. ([\#8535](#8535), [\#8564](#8564))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a longstanding bug where invalid ignored users in account data could break clients. ([\#8454](#8454))
- Fix a bug where backfilling a room with an event that was missing the `redacts` field would break. ([\#8457](#8457))
- Don't attempt to respond to some requests if the client has already disconnected. ([\#8465](#8465))
- Fix message duplication if something goes wrong after persisting the event. ([\#8476](#8476))
- Fix incremental sync returning an incorrect `prev_batch` token in timeline section, which when used to paginate returned events that were included in the incremental sync. Broken since v0.16.0. ([\#8486](#8486))
- Expose the `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` to clients from the login API. This feature was added in v1.21.0, but was not exposed as a potential login flow. ([\#8504](#8504))
- Fix error code for `/profile/{userId}/displayname` to be `M_BAD_JSON`. ([\#8517](#8517))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.7.0 that could cause Synapse to insert values from non-state `m.room.retention` events into the `room_retention` database table. ([\#8527](#8527))
- Fix not sending events over federation when using sharded event writers. ([\#8536](#8536))
- Fix a long standing bug where email notifications for encrypted messages were blank. ([\#8545](#8545))
- Fix increase in the number of `There was no active span...` errors logged when using OpenTracing. ([\#8567](#8567))
- Fix a bug that prevented errors encountered during execution of the `synapse_port_db` from being correctly printed. ([\#8585](#8585))
- Fix appservice transactions to only include a maximum of 100 persistent and 100 ephemeral events. ([\#8606](#8606))
