Merge tag 'v1.69.0rc1' into develop

Synapse 1.69.0rc1 (2022-10-04)
==============================

Please note that legacy Prometheus metric names are now deprecated and will be removed in Synapse 1.73.0.
Server administrators should update their dashboards and alerting rules to avoid using the deprecated metric names.
See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.69/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1690) for more details.

Features
--------

- Allow application services to set the `origin_server_ts` of a state event by providing the query parameter `ts` in [`PUT /_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{roomId}/state/{eventType}/{stateKey}`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.4/client-server-api/#put_matrixclientv3roomsroomidstateeventtypestatekey), per [MSC3316](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3316). Contributed by @lukasdenk. ([\#11866](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11866))
- Allow server admins to require a manual approval process before new accounts can be used (using [MSC3866](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3866)). ([\#13556](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13556))
- Exponentially backoff from backfilling the same event over and over. ([\#13635](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13635), [\#13936](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13936))

- Improve validation for the unspecced, internal-only `_matrix/client/unstable/add_threepid/msisdn/submit_token` endpoint. ([\#13832](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13832))
- Faster remote room joins: record _when_ we first partial-join to a room. ([\#13892](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13892))
- Support a `dir` parameter on the `/relations` endpoint per [MSC3715](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3715). ([\#13920](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13920))
