As Element Call grows in complexity, it has become a pain point that our business logic remains so tightly coupled to the UI code. In particular, this has made testing difficult, and the complex semantics of React hooks are not a great match for arbitrary business logic. Here, I show the beginnings of what it would look like for us to adopt the MVVM pattern. I've created a CallViewModel and TileViewModel that expose their state to the UI as rxjs Observables, as well as a couple of helper functions for consuming view models in React code.
This should contain no user-visible changes, but we need to watch out for regressions particularly around focus switching and promotion of speakers, because this was the logic I chose to refactor first.
* Update dependency @livekit/components-react to v1.4.1
* patch to match new lk api

This also removes the use of the useLivekitRoom hook: we had reached
the point where the only thing it was actually doing was disconnecting,
so we now do that in the onClick handler for the leave button (I don't
think we need to disconnect on unmount?). It was otherwise just getting in
the way and causing tracks to be enabled/disabled when we didn't want them
to be. This also removes the need for the blockAudio code.
Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues/1413
Previously it could be either undefined or type None which meant the
same thing: no need to have both, just make it required.
This also means we can move the line to set e2ee enabled into a more
sensible place rather than in the ActiveCall de-nulling wrapper.
* Fix mute button not being in sync with actual video/audio feed.
This happens if we toggle the button while waiting for updating the stream.
It is prohibited by checking if the stream state is in sync after the update
is done.

This is a bit of a hack, but is the only way I can see that we can
update to using the new default device when the OS-level default
changes. Hopefully the comments explain everything.
This upgrade came with a number of new lints that needed to be fixed across the code base. Primarily: explicit return types on functions, and explicit visibility modifiers on class members.
See comments. I'm not very happy with how this code bounces state in and out of different hooks and useEffect blocks, but as a quick fix this should work.
This attempts to converge all our modals on the new modal component while changing their designs as little as possible. This should reduce the bundle size a bit and make the app generally feel like it's converging on the new designs, even though individual modals still remain to be revamped.
This was causing an extra reconnect cycle when the call was first
joined because it thought the previous SFU config was valid. This was
probably causing some client to fail to connect at all.
