Use /admin/v1/register in create-account (#2484)

* Get all account data on CompleteSync

* Revert "Get all account data on CompleteSync"

This reverts commit 44a3e566d8.

* Use /_synapse/admin/v1/register to create account

* Linting

* Linter again :)

* Update docs

* Use HTTP API to reset password, add option to User API `PerformPasswordUpdate` to invalidate sessions

* Fix routing name

* Tell me more about what went wrong

* Deprecate the `-reset-password` flag, document the new API
