Customize Password Requirements

[Tsangares]

Currently I do not see any password configuration parameters for new users registering to the dendrite server. On the synapse server there was options on the strength. Ultimately, I think if its a strong 8 character password I think that's enough.

I am trying to onboard friends and family to use matrix over signal or whatsapp when possible and having a crazy intense password will limit the ability for onboarding new users.

The feature could be simple, in the yaml config just parametrize each of the password requirements and allow boolean toggles on and off and a int field for the minimum password length.

Basically this is just adding https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/1ed732cc783e079feeaf637e23120b027fb7d70b/clientapi/routing/register.go#L60 into the config in client_api.

hey @kegsay and @Tsangares -- I put in a PR to try and take a swing at this. This is my first PR to dendrite, so its totally possible to have botched something. Let me know what you think. :tada:

Ask @kegsay what they meant about "sidecar" feature.
