This allows people to try out the new Element X clients, which need to
run against the sliding-sync proxy (https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync).
Supersedes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/2515
The code is based on the existing PR (#2515), but heavily reworked. Major changes:
- lots of internal refactoring and variable renaming
- fixed self-building to support non-amd64 architectures
- changed to talk to the homeserver locally, over the container network (not
publicly)
- no more matrix-nginx-proxy support due to complexity (see below)
- no more `matrix_server_fqn_sliding_sync_proxy` in favor of
`matrix_sliding_sync_hostname` and `matrix_sliding_sync_path_prefix`
- runs on `matrix.DOMAIN/sliding-sync` by default, so it can tried
easily without having to create new DNS records
This container needs a writable $HOME, and will fail at startup if
there isn't one.
Provide one by pointing HOME to a path under the mounted /data
directory.
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.
