Fixed

• Fix Matrix RTC SFU ServiceMonitor not working. (#569)

• Fix Matrix Authentication Service not using the hostAliases set in the values. (#573)

• Fix Matrix RTC Authoriser not having default hostAliases values. (#573)

• Fix Postgres and Synapse Media storageClassName configuration not being respected.

  Warning Previously synapse.media.storage.storageClass and postgres.storage.storageClass
  were in the values file and associated schema. These values were accidentally silently ignored
  and all chart-managed PersistentVolumeClaims were constructed without spec.storageClassName
  set, using the cluster default StorageClass.

  The values file and associated schema have been updated so that the values are now
  synapse.media.storage.storageClassName and postgres.storage.storageClassName. The previous
  values are disallowed by the schema. Setting these values after the initial install could
  cause the PersistentVolumeClaims to be recreated, with associated data-loss. Only set
  synapse.media.storage.storageClassName or postgres.storage.storageClassName on initial
  installation. (#582, #583)

Removed
