Type of change
Content
Rather than use a shell script to start and stop synapse, use a github action instead
Motivation and context
The synapse demo script changed which caused CI to fail, so fixing it up so it's internal to GHA rather than re-using a script not quite designed for this purpose.
Additional benefits is that this should retain the configuration and logs of the synapse homeserver for analysis after the run.
Tests
Tested by manual runs
