* feat(webcams): skip video preview if valid input devices stored
Additionally:
- refactor: re-use the existing VirtualBackground_* storage info instead
of creating a new one
- fix: store background choices per deviceId instead of globally
- fix: guarantee background restore attempts are *critical* when
video-preview is supposed to be skipped. We want the preview to be
shown if the previous background could not be restored to preserver
the user's privacy choice
- fix: cameras could not be shared if no previous device info was in
the user's session
- fix: uploaded background images were not correctly restored
- fix: do not spin up virtual bg workers for brightness if it has not
been altered by the user
- refactor: remove old video-provider background restore routine,
centralize it in video-preview
* fix(skip-video-preview): correct storage check and add playwright test and docs

* fix(storage): set initial value
* refactor(storage): stop using Meteor's Session singleton
Under some scenarios, cameras are freezing when the virtual background
code is running due to runPostProcessing(_renderMask) throwing
NS_ERROR_FAILURE - mainly on Firefox - consequently preventing
subsequent TimerWorker ticks from being scheduled.
Cases where I've seen that happen are:
- conferences running under an iframe where the iframe is briefly
stalled for some reason
Address the issue with a try-catch and a log for debugability (it's high
frequency, hence why not error level). We should probably remove the log
entirely once we figure out why the post-processing method is failing.
Changes (maybe not a complete list):
- Disable virtualbgs by default
- Move the virtualbg selector in video-preview to the side below the
profile selection
- Restore old video-preview sizes
- Add a wrapper class for MediaStreams (BBBVideoStream)
- Centralize virtualbg services and business logic code into BBBVideoStream
- Refactor and centralize virtualbg constant fetching
- Refactor and centralize virtualbg config fetching
- Organize virtualbg type definitions
- Remove added states in video-provider to prevent further bloat
- Remove added states in video-preview to prevent further bloat
- Lock virtual bg switching while video-preview itself is locked
- Add proper virtualbg error surfacing via toasts
- Refactor iOS availability detection to use centralized UA checker
- Avoid calling gUM when toggling virtualbgs on/off
- Make virtualbg video-list-item action a toggle instead of a
state-aware action
- Make virtualbg switching work in video-preview for cameras that are
already shared. Especially useful when there are multiple source
cameras, and will be important in the near future
- Add Derivative Work notices in files that are partially copied from
jitsi-meet
- Simplify track replacing in video-provider
- Split video-preview UI code for virtualbgs into a separate functional component
