react-rxjs is the library we've been using to connect our React components to view models and consume observables. However, after spending some time with react-rxjs, I feel that it's a very heavy-handed solution. It requires us to sprinkle <Subscribe /> and <RemoveSubscribe /> components all throughout the code, and makes React go through an extra render cycle whenever we mount a component that binds to a view model. What I really want is a lightweight React hook that just gets the current value out of a plain observable, without any extra setup. Luckily the observable-hooks library with its useObservableEagerState hook seems to do just that—and it's more actively maintained, too!
If not set, legacy call membership state events are sent instead.
Even if set, legacy events are sent in rooms with active legacy calls.

Here I've implemented an MVP for the new unified grid layout, which scales smoothly up to arbitrarily many participants. It doesn't yet have a special 1:1 layout, so in spotlight mode and 1:1s, we will still fall back to the legacy grid systems.
Things that happened along the way:
- The part of VideoTile that is common to both spotlight and grid tiles, I refactored into MediaView
- VideoTile renamed to GridTile
- Added SpotlightTile for the new, glassy spotlight designs
- NewVideoGrid renamed to Grid, and refactored to be even more generic
- I extracted the media name logic into a custom React hook
- Deleted the BigGrid experiment
* Add try inner try block to the room summary fetching and only throw after fetching and a "blind join" fails.

If you send a knock that is rejected, or your knock is accepted and you
are later removed from the room, do not automatically accept subsequent
invites to that room.
Note that the auto-join behaviour happened only if the page was not
refreshed after sending a knock.
Include:
- all rooms you are a member of
- knock rooms you've knocked on and are waiting for an invite to
- knock rooms you've been invited to in response to a knock
When visiting the page for a knock room you are already invited to, join
it right away instead of offering to knock (which will fail as long as
you remain invited to the room).
* Add joining with knock room creation flow.
Also add `WaitForInviteView` after knocking.
And appropriate error views when knock failed or gets rejected.

* Refactor encryption information.
We had lots of enums and booleans to describe the encryption situation.
Now we only use the `EncryptionSystem` "enum" which contains the
additional information like sharedKey. (and we don't use the isRoomE2EE
function that is somewhat confusing since it checks `return widget ===
null && !room.getCanonicalAlias();` which is only indirectly related to
e2ee)

* Update recent list.
- Don't use deprecated `groupCallEventHander` anymore (it used the old
`m.call` state event.)
- make the recent list reactive (getting removed from a call removes the
item from the list)
- support having rooms without shared secret but actual matrix
encryption in the recent list
- change the share link creation button so that we create a link with
pwd for sharedKey rooms and with `perParticipantE2EE=true` for matrix
encrypted rooms.

I discovered that this hook was calling complete on the returned observable almost immediately when it gets mounted. This caused the call view model to never know when the application was switching focuses. At first I thought this was just because I forgot to move the call to complete to the effect's clean-up function, but even with that changed, React still calls the effect twice in strict mode. So, let's just remove the call entirely.

This is a start at implementing the call layouts from the new designs. I've added data types to model the contents of each possible layout, and begun implementing the business logic to produce these layouts in the call view model.
This hack was added in the early days of Element Call, back when we were doing call signaling using non-state room events, and missing part of a room's history could cause calls to fall apart. Nowadays we use state events for signaling, and all this hack is doing is making sync times unnecessarily long, so we can remove it.
I thought that adding isolation: isolate to the React root had fixed the Firefox layering glitches, but today I've started noticing those glitches again.
This turns on a lint rule to require display names for all of our components, which makes it a lot easier to find your way around the component tree in React's dev tools.
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.

reorderTiles was programmed to only place a tile in the speaker section if that tile's previous position was off-screen. But for speakers that started off-screen, this would cause them to oscillate in and out of the speaker section on each render, because the speaker section is, of course, on-screen. The solution I've gone with here is to avoid referencing the previous position, and instead go by the computed natural ordering, which ought to be more stable.
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.
The auto ratcheting sets the keys and so looks like it can clobber
us setting a key from the app if they race, so just disable it, at
least for now - we aren't using it.
* 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.

Take the room ID from the URL rather than just assuming it's still
the one that was in URL params before: if only the hash changes,
the app won't reload.
Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues/1708
As base64 is fairly obviously not sensible for URLs and we were not
URL encoding it so we were ending up with spaces in the URL.
Also base 64 encode the password in case, as per comment.
