Description
Clients can do this via a filter, however appservices are forced to use the normal "client format" for events. To fix issues similar to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2735 for appservices, a new flag could be added to the registration to indicate that the appservice wants to receive events in "federation format".
Would also be useful for stats bots which want/need more information.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the appservice registration and event-format sections in the Matrix specification, then determine how federation-format delivery should be requested and documented. Done means the registration behavior and resulting event format are specified consistently, with any required examples or compatibility details.
