https://github.com/Virkkunen and I have been working on the same feature
simultaneously.
This patch adds my additional independent work on top of his changes.
Notable changes here compared to Virkkunen's original work:
- renaming config-related variables (`matrix_conduwuit_*` ->
`matrix_conduwuit_config_*`). This is consistent with other roles (and
better), but deviates from how the Conduit role was implemented.
- using a full configuration sample from https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/configuration.html
instead of using the old Conduit config file template
- introducing configurability for more Conduwuit config settings, to support easy registration, etc.
- removing configuration settings that Conduwuit does not support
anymore (e.g. `max_concurrent_requests`)
- cross-linking docs pages for Conduit and Conduwuit
- a Conduwuit docs page which is much improved compared to the old
Conduit one
- REAMDE updates
This is an attempt at optimizing service startup.
The effect is most pronounced when many services are restarted one by one.
The systemd service manager role sometimes does this - for example when `just install-service synapse` runs.
In such cases, a 5-second delay for each Synapse worker service
(or other bridge/bot service that waits on the homeserver) quickly adds up to a lot.
When services are all stopped fully and then started, the effect is not so pronounced, because
`matrix-synapse.service` starts first and pulls all worker services (defined as `Wants=` for it).
Later on, when the systemd service manager role "starts" these worker services, they're started already.
Even if they had a 5-second wait each, it would have happened in parallel.
