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.

(yes, a bit awkward and brittle… xD)

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)

· needs documentation; no checks yet for port clashes or typos in worker name
· according to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki/Workers-setup-with-nginx#results
  about 90% of requests go to the synchrotron endpoint
· thus, the synchrotron worker is especially suited to be load-balanced
· most of the other workers are documented to support only a single instance
