Description

@squahtx

@aaronraimist has noted that the implementation of the allow_device_name_lookup_over_federation config option may be leaky, as determined by manual testing.

https://matrix.to/#/!XaqDhxuTIlvldquJaV:matrix.org/$NIF9Q6PAp0X1T6JES3BDVdoxWJa-0fSJdDaX3gJjrHE?via=matrix.org&via=praten.de&via=lingcube.com explains the testing done:
"I was testing was I had allow_device_name_lookup_over_federation: false on my server and then was logging in/out and changing my device names to cause device list updates. I then used Element logged in to accounts on matrix.org, mozilla.org, etc to check my device list and see if the new names were visible."

#9945 implements the option.
#10015 addresses one of the leaks.
