Because this is the first release, it has several moving parts to it:
* The version variables have been defined.
* The towncrier changelog has been prepared for future modifications.
* The templating has been updated to better support future versions of the specification.
* A release process document has been created.
This fixes a number of formatting issues alongside a few documentation problems:
* The push gateway can actually expect less parameters than previously advertised. This is for user privacy.
* Introduction of the `m.email` pusher for email-capable homeservers.
* Fields not being flagged as required on some endpoints.
* Document the `event_id_only` format
Note: this does not attempt to document push rules, just pushers.

The original text wasn't far off, except for being wrong about what the fields actually do. This commit also adds a bit of clarity for how the server is expected to behave.
This intentionally doesn't document the third party network aspect of the endpoint. This is scheduled for a later area for dealing with third party network/IDs and is reported as https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1476
The client-server response has been broken out to a shared file: both the client-server and server-server /publicRoom endpoints return the same thing, with slightly different inputs.
The inputs (and behaviour) are based upon the docstring here: 43ecfe0b10/synapse/federation/transport/server.py (L583-L612)
This also adds a previously-undocumented endpoint: /state_ids
Backfill is technically not part of this section, however it is being left untouched to make the merge with #1469 easier (which moves it out of the file).
Reference material:
* Some calls to synapse on these endpoints with a relatively simple private room.
The response is based upon various sections of the Synapse code in how it generates a response.
There are no new fields added to the transaction. Originally, `previous_ids` and `pdu_failures` were to be documented however neither of these are used in the real world.
