* Add HTTP 403 to possible profile responses
Some servers may not allow profile lookup over federation, and thus
respond to GET /_matrix/client/v3/profile/{userId} with an HTTP 403.
For example, Synapse can be configured to behave in this way by setting:
allow_profile_lookup_over_federation=false
Thus, this behavior already exists in the wild, and may cause issues for
clients such as https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/17269.
Synapse could alter its behavior and return an HTTP 404 in these cases,
but amending the Spec seems preferable to align with extant behavior.
Further, allowing HTTP 403 gives clients more specific information as to
why a request has failed, enabling more precise error handling.

Fixes#3465. The change adds a line explicitly warning developers that the base_url of client well_known may or may not include a trailing slash and to be prepared to handle both cases.

* Remove entries which don't affect the rendered spec (sorry people using the swagger schemas - we'll have to figure out a changelog for you). See https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/3475
* Note that a breaking change is removed by this commit: key backup was introduced in this release cycle, so is not breaking.
* Use uniform references to MSCs ("as per MSC0000").
* General rewording to be consistent with the overall voice of the changelog.
* Condensing of entries where needed to make them fit in the changelog.
* Rewording to collapse entries into fewer lines.
* Spell "deprecation" correctly in file extension.
This fixes the behaviour to match what synapse implements in practice.
If you use threepidCreds, you will just get an error about a missing
threepid_creds field. Synapse also treats this as an object. All clients
also seem to send threepid_creds, if they work on Synapse. Since
matrix.org requires an email currently for registration, most clients
that implement registration, will hit this issue.

The Pagination section in the C-S API was, basically, full of rubbish. I think that anything of any value it contained was repeated either directly on the API definitions or in the text specific to syncing at https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#syncing.
The conventions I've added to the Appendices are based on the discussions in #1898. They are there because I don't want to have to go through it all again next time we add a paginated API.
Fixes: #1898Fixes: #2268
The regex of allowed characters for a `client_secret` parameter is `[0-9a-zA-Z.=_-]`.
This PR updates the `client_secret` spec examples, which currently include an invalid character (an apostrophe).
