Add support for all server_notices settings documented by Synapse:
- room_avatar_url: optional avatar for the server notices room
- room_topic: optional topic for the server notices room
- auto_join: whether users are auto-joined instead of invited (default: false)

Expose Synapse's `msc4306_enabled` experimental flag as a first-class MDAD
variable and wire it into `homeserver.yaml` alongside the other experimental
feature toggles.

This makes thread-subscriptions support explicit in playbook configuration,
rather than requiring operators to inject the upstream flag via raw
`matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml`.

The variable intentionally controls only the Synapse feature flag. It does not
change the default `thread_subscriptions` worker count, which remains `0` in the
standard presets. Keeping those as separate choices avoids auto-starting an
experimental worker just because the upstream feature toggle is enabled.

Add matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file
variable to allow specifying a custom CA certificate file for LDAP TLS
verification. Useful when Synapse is running in a container that does not
trust a private/internal CA by default.

Example usage:
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file: /etc/ssl/certs/my-ca.crt

- https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19204
- https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#enable_local_media_storage

We default it to `true`, keeping up with upstream and the old behavior.

s3-storage-provider users may set `matrix_synapse_enable_local_media_storage` to `false`
to disable local file caching.
This likely comes at the expense of some performance.

For matrix-media-repo users, it likely doesn't matter what this is set to,
as for a matrix-media-repo setup, all media-related API endpoints are
captured and forwarded to matrix-media-repo (before reaching Synapse).

* synapse - introduce matrix_synapse_url_preview_url_blacklist var

* Preserve original comments around `url_preview_url_blacklist`

This works around an issue with Matrix Authentication Service's `syn2mas` sub-command (at version v0.16.0),
which chokes with an error:

> Error: Failed to load Synapse configuration
> Caused by:
> invalid type: found unit, expected struct EnableableSection for key "default.cas_config" in homeserver.yaml YAML file

This issue is likely to be fixed in MAS v0.16.1 or v0.17.0.

It's useless and just makes the config longer.
