Define instanceId property on workers

This give us the possibility to run multiple instances of
workers that that don't expose a port.

Right now, we don't support that, but in the future we could
run multiple `federation_sender` or `pusher` workers, without
them fighting over naming (previously, they'd all be named
something like `matrix-synapse-worker-pusher-0`, because
they'd all define `port` as `0`).

 # Doing that is simpler and also protects you from shooting yourself in the foot,
 # as certain workers can only be spawned just once.
 #
-# Example of what this needs to look like:
+# Each worker instance in the list defines the following fields:
+# - `type` - the type of worker (`generic_worker`, etc.)
+# - `instanceId` - a string that identifies the worker. The combination of (`type` + `instanceId`) represents the name of the worker and must be unique.
+# - `port` - an HTTP port where the worker listens for requests (can be `0` for workers that don't do HTTP request processing)
+# - `metrics_port` - an HTTP port where the worker exports Prometheus metrics
+#
+# Example of what this needs to look like, if you're defining it manually:
