Calls are an environment with high cognitive load, so it's important that we keep extra UI elements like these to a minimum and stick to what's been explicitly designed. I assume that this was here as a developer feature to diagnose reliability of the back end components, which is perfectly fine, so I've kept it behind a developer setting rather than fully removing it.

This is an attempt to address the feedback in https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/pull/1099#discussion_r1226863404 that the video grid and video tile components have become too tightly coupled. After this change, the only requirements that the video grid makes of its child components are:
- They accept ref, style, and item props
- They attach the ref and styles to a react-spring animated element
Note: I removed the video grid Storybook file, because I'm not aware of anyone using Storybook for development of Element Call beyond Robert, and it would take some effort to fix to work with these changes.
So that we can load SFU with the virtual participants and get them
displayed in the grid layout. Before that only participants who are part
of the Matrix were displayed (i.e. participants who have published
m.call.member event to declare their participation).
This version is not supposed to properly work, this is a work in
progress.
Main changes:
* Completely removed the PTT logic (for simplicity, it could be
introduced later).
* Abstracted away the work with the media devices.
* Defined confined interfaces of the affected components so that they
only get the data that they need without importing Matris JS SDK or
LiveKit SDK, so that we can exchange their "backend" at any time.
* Started using JS/TS SDK from LiveKit as well as their React SDK to
define the state of the local media devices and local streams.
* config: add feature in `config.json`
* groupCall: adjust connection state in feed if allowCallWithoutVideoAndAudio
* matrix-js-sdk: update version for allowCallWithoutVideoAndAudio
- I modified the SDK so that mute unmute work without media and check device permission inside the SDK
- allowCallWithoutVideoAndAudio is only checked at one point outside the SDK
* docu: add join group call without media docu in READMe
