Merge tag 'v1.14.0rc2' into develop

Synapse 1.14.0rc2 (2020-05-27)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix cache config to not apply cache factor to event cache. Regression in v1.14.0rc1. ([\#7578](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7578))
- Fix bug where `ReplicationStreamer` was not always started when replication was enabled. Bug introduced in v1.14.0rc1. ([\#7579](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7579))
- Fix specifying individual cache factors for caches with special characters in their name. Regression in v1.14.0rc1. ([\#7580](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7580))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Fix the OIDC `client_auth_method` value in the sample config. ([\#7581](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7581))
