Drop support for delegating email validation (#13192)

* Drop support for delegating email validation

Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.

* Update unit test which checks for email verification

Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate

* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`

* Simplify config handling for email verification

Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.

* update docs

* changelog

* upgrade.md: fix typo

* update version number

this will be in 1.64, not 1.63

* update version number

this one too

+# Upgrading to v1.64.0
+
+## Delegation of email validation no longer supported
+
+As of this version, Synapse no longer allows the tasks of verifying email address
+ownership, and password reset confirmation, to be delegated to an identity server.
+
+To continue to allow users to add email addresses to their homeserver accounts,
+and perform password resets, make sure that Synapse is configured with a
+working email server in the `email` configuration section (including, at a
+minimum, a `notif_from` setting.)
+
+Specifying an `email` setting under `account_threepid_delegates` will now cause
+an error at startup.

 ### `account_threepid_delegates`
 
-Handle threepid (email/phone etc) registration and password resets through a set of
-*trusted* identity servers. Note that this allows the configured identity server to
-reset passwords for accounts!
+Delegate verification of phone numbers to an identity server.
 
-Be aware that if `email` is not set, and SMTP options have not been
-configured in the email config block, registration and user password resets via
-email will be globally disabled.
+When a user wishes to add a phone number to their account, we need to verify that they
+actually own that phone number, which requires sending them a text message (SMS).
+Currently Synapse does not support sending those texts itself and instead delegates the
+task to an identity server. The base URI for the identity server to be used is
+specified by the `account_threepid_delegates.msisdn` option.
 
-Additionally, if `msisdn` is not set, registration and password resets via msisdn
-will be disabled regardless, and users will not be able to associate an msisdn
-identifier to their account. This is due to Synapse currently not supporting
-any method of sending SMS messages on its own.
+If this is left unspecified, Synapse will not allow users to add phone numbers to
+their account.
 
-To enable using an identity server for operations regarding a particular third-party
-identifier type, set the value to the URL of that identity server as shown in the
-examples below.
+(Servers handling the these requests must answer the `/requestToken` endpoints defined
+by the Matrix Identity Service API
+[specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/latest).)
 
-Servers handling the these requests must answer the `/requestToken` endpoints defined
-by the Matrix Identity Service API [specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/latest).
+*Updated in Synapse 1.64.0*: No longer accepts an `email` option.
 
 Example configuration:
 ```yaml
 account_threepid_delegates:
-    email: https://example.com     # Delegate email sending to example.com
     msisdn: http://localhost:8090  # Delegate SMS sending to this local process
