Do not ask for _matrix._tcp SRV records anymore

Browse Source 
With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.

Server delegation can be configured using DNS SRV records or by setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`<your-domain.com>`).
We have discussed the DNS SRV record method already in the "`_matrix._tcp` SRV record setup (temporary requirement)" section of [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
Both methods have their place and will continue to do so. Usually, you would need to use just one of these delegation methods.
Both methods have their place and will continue to do so. You only need to use just one of these delegation methods.
For simplicity reasons, our setup advocates for the `/.well-known/matrix/server` method and guides you into using that.
For backward compatibility with older Synapse servers (< v0.99), however, for now you are also required to set up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record (in addition to the `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain).
As the Synapse server progresses towards v1.0, only the `/.well-known/matrix/server` file will be used by us, unless you have a more special setup necessitating a DNS SRV record. At that future moment, you would need to remove the `_matrix._tcp` SRV record because Synapse v1.0+ will do the wrong thing if a SRV record exists.
To learn how to set up `/.well-known/matrix/server`, read the Installing section below.
