Prefer `type(x) is int` to `isinstance(x, int)` (#14945)

* Perfer `type(x) is int` to `isinstance(x, int)`

This covered all additional instances I could see where `x` was
user-controlled.
The remaining cases are

```
$ rg -s 'isinstance.*[^_]int'
tests/replication/_base.py
576:        if isinstance(obj, int):

synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py
136:        assert isinstance(stream_pos, int)
214:        assert isinstance(stream_pos, int)
246:        assert isinstance(stream_pos, int)
267:        assert isinstance(stream_pos, int)

synapse/metrics/__init__.py
100:        if isinstance(calls, (int, float)):

synapse/handlers/appservice.py
262:        assert isinstance(new_token, int)

synapse/config/_util.py
62:        if isinstance(p, int):
```

which cover metrics, logic related to `jsonschema`, and replication and
data streams. AFAICS these are all internal to Synapse
