Synapse: web_client: False doesn't turn off the in built angular web client.

[APwhitehat]

web_client: False in homeserver.yaml config file doesn't turn off the built-in angular web client.
Removing webclient from resources.names: [client, webclient] turns it off.

Need to confirm that this was the intended purpose of web_client: False.
If yes, I'll try to fix this.

I had the same problem. These are the changes I made to my homeserver.yaml:
