* fix(SendVideoController): Apply the sender constraint only when it changes. There were cases where the bridge was sending the same constraint multiple times causing redundant calls to getParameters/setParameters on the RTCRtpSender.
* fix(gum) update permissions prompt detection

* feat(load-test): Senders unmute themselves if muted by policy.

* feat(load-test): Adds option to skip creating local audio track.

We currently create local audio track even when starting audio muted. Adding the option to control that can load test that for clients or signalling.

When there's no jitsiTrack set on the base/tracks entry it means
a track is being created (get user media is in progress).

Use the Google Meet model and SIMD optimized WASM.

* ref(QualityController): Split send and receive video constraints handling.
* fix: Save guards _features to be always empty and nver undefined. (#1493)

* fix(load-test): Always create local audio track.

When audio mutes will mute the track. Also fixes previous change where we do not add any of the tracks to the room.

* squash: Fix lint errors.

Behaves now as the main client, and skips few unnecessary presences.

* fix(GUM-permissions): cache permissions on init.
* feat: Reuse billingId from localstorage as jitsiMeetId.
* fix(example) simplify
* feat(docs) mvoe API documentatrion to the handbook

Introduces a new feature flag ('help.enabled') and uses that to
determine the visibility of the 'Help' button in a call.

Fixes: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/8510

This basically reverts
a3fb996ff0
while retaining the same properties that prompted it's original intent, namely
avoiding sending the Referrer header.

When the method was called from Swift they were collected before calling them.

Should fix https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/7037

* fix(GUM): improve permissions logic.
* feat(GUM): timeout.
* ref: Remove pinEndpoint. (#1440)

* feat(conference): Enable forced reload of client on bridge failure.
Force the client to reload when the bridge that is handling the media goes down.
This mitigates issues seen on the bridge because of a client re-joining the call with the same endpointId, BWE issues, etc.
This behavior is configurable through 'enableForcedReload' setting in config.js.
The client skips the pre-join page when the page reloads.

* squash: refactor the restart logic.

* squash: fix description

* squash: dispatch conferenceWillLeave action before reload.
