As stream writer workers are also powered by the `generic_worker`
Synapse app, this necessitated that we provide means for distinguishing
between them and regular `generic_workers`.
I've also taken the time to optimize nginx configuration generation
(more Jinja2 macro usage, less duplication).
Worker names have also changed.
Workers are now named sequentially like this:
- `matrix-synapse-worker-0-generic`
- `matrix-synapse-worker-1-stream-writer-typing`
- `matrix-synapse-worker-2-pusher`
instead of `matrix-synapse-worker_generic_worker-18111` (indexed with a
port number).
People who modify `matrix_synapse_workers_enabled_list` directly will
need to adjust their configuration.
People often report and ask about these "failures".
More-so previously, when the `docker kill/rm` output was collected,
but it still happens now when people do `systemctl status
matrix-something` and notice that it says "FAILURE".
Suppressing to avoid further time being wasted on saying "this is
expected".

I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.
This commit introduces a new role that downloads and installs the
prometheus community postgres exporter https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter.
A new credential is added to matrix_postgres_additional_databases that
allows the exporter access to the database to gather statistics.
A new dashboard was added to the grafana role, with some refactoring
to enable the dashboard only if the new role is enabled.
I've included some basic instructions for how to enable the role in
the Docs section.
In terms of testing, I've tested enabling the role, and disabling
it to make sure it cleans up the container and systemd role.
Basic system stats, to show stuff the synapse metrics
can't show such as resource usage by bridges, etc
Seems to work fine as well.
This too has only been tested on debian amd64 so far
