Synapse does not require the `verify_keys` attr/object to be set. It made sense back in the day, when federation traffic used to use self-signed certificates. But this is no longer the case. The previous `types.nullOr` didn't actually allow omitting `verify_keys` because Synapse's config parser is unable to parse that. Not a breaking change.
