Consolidate logic to check for deactivated users. (#15634)

This moves the deactivated user check to the method which
all login types call.

Additionally updates the application service tests to be more
realistic by removing invalid tests and fixing server names.

 If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return `None`.
 
+Note that the user is not automatically registered, the `register_user(..)` method of
+the [module API](writing_a_module.html) can be used to lazily create users.
+
 If multiple modules register an auth checker for the same login type but with different
 fields, Synapse will refuse to start.
