This switches the `docker exec` method of spawning
Synapse workers inside the `matrix-synapse` container with
dedicated containers for each worker.
We also have dedicated systemd services for each worker,
so this are now:
- more consistent with everything else (we don't use systemd
instantiated services anywhere)
- we don't need the "parse systemd instance name into worker name +
port" part
- we don't need to keep track of PIDs manually
- we don't need jq (less depenendencies)
- workers dying would be restarted by systemd correctly, like any other
service
- `docker ps` shows each worker separately and we can observe resource
usage
Many people probably didn't even know this - that ansible can be
quite a bit picky about what it will be willing to work with remotely.
Thanks @maxklenk !
also, worker.yaml.j2:
- hone worker_name
- remove worker_pid_file entry (would only be used if worker_daemonize
set to true; also, synapse only knows about the container namespace
and thus can not provide the required host-view PID)
