Fix #19233

Synapse fails to handle events in v12 rooms when the server is run with the {use_frozen_dicts: True} config.
This PR fixes the issue, and adds tests which cover room creation, joining, and joining over federation, with both frozen and not frozen config settings, by extending the existing test_send_join federation tests.

This approach to testing was chosen as it is a simple way to get high level integration style test coverage, without going through all our existing tests and trying to retroactively add in coverage when using frozen dicts.
This should provide an easy place for future room versions to extend the suite of tests and reduce the chance of introducing subtle bugs like this in the future.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
    • Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by @github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the entry.
  • Code style is correct (run the linters)

assert create_event_id not in self._dict["auth_events"]
if self.type == EventTypes.Create and self.get_state_key() == "":
return self._dict["auth_events"] # should be []
return self._dict["auth_events"] + [create_event_id]

self._dict["auth_events"] is a tuple when self._dict has been frozen. Concatenating directly with [create_event_id] raises an exception in that case.

The team has decided to deprecate and stop publishing python wheels for MacOS.
Synapse docker images will continue to work on MacOS, as will building Synapse
from source (though note this requires a Rust compiler).

Admins using the unstable [MSC2666](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2666) endpoint (`/_matrix/client/unstable/uk.half-shot.msc2666/user/mutual_rooms`),
please check [the relevant section in the upgrade notes](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v11440) as this release contains changes
that disable that endpoint by default.

No significant changes since 1.144.0rc1.
