Config file values need explanation about sydent

[richvdh]

this. so much this.

Ideally we'd have explanations in the generated config file

Ideally we wouldn't generate a config file at all, imho. It is always going to be a poor substitute for actual documentation.

From #512:

I see that I indeed set server.name in the Sydent config to example.com rather than sydent.example.com. When I configured it I wasn't sure if server.name was supposed to be the Synapse's server name (which would be example.com) or Sydent's host. Can the configuration docs be updated to include a little snippet about this distinction?

UP! I'd really like this documentation.
