matrix-synapse: Fix YAML format issues.

/etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml file has several complex cases of inline
comments which are introducing bugs when parsed with ruamel.yaml
Eliminated the problem by discarding comments altogether since the YAML data is
only read by Plinth and not by a human.

Closes #1214
