Getting version number of running synapse is unreliable #3220
Description
UPGRADE.rst and ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md both suggest inspecting the Server header of a REST response to get the running synapse version, which doesn't work for people using a reverse-proxy which overwrites the Server header.
Other popular options include:
- using the federation/v1/version endpoint (doesn't work for those who don't have federation endpoints exposed on the client port)
- reading the logs
- inspecting
synapse/__init__.py
None of those are foolproof. Maybe we should just add something to the admin api to give the running version number?
