Add third_party module callbacks to check if a user can delete a room and deactivate a user (#12028)

* Add check_can_deactivate_user

* Add check_can_shutdown_rooms

* Documentation

* callbacks, not functions

* Various suggested tweaks

* Add tests for test_check_can_shutdown_room and test_check_can_deactivate_user

* Update check_can_deactivate_user to not take a Requester

* Fix check_can_shutdown_room docs

* Renegade and use `by_admin` instead of `admin_user_id`

* fix lint

* Update docs/modules/third_party_rules_callbacks.md

+### `check_can_shutdown_room`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.55.0_
+
+```python
+async def check_can_shutdown_room(
+    user_id: str, room_id: str,
+) -> bool:
+```
+
+Called when an admin user requests the shutdown of a room. The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the shutdown can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
+the shutdown will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.

+### `check_can_deactivate_user`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.55.0_
+
+```python
+async def check_can_deactivate_user(
+    user_id: str, by_admin: bool,
+) -> bool:
+```
+
+Called when the deactivation of a user is requested. User deactivation can be
+performed by an admin or the user themselves, so developers are encouraged to check the
+requester when implementing this callback. The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the deactivation can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
+the deactivation will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
+
+The module is passed two parameters, `user_id` which is the ID of the user being deactivated, and `by_admin` which is `True` if the request is made by a serve admin, and `False` otherwise.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.
