If a value is not set in localStorage then null is
returned. null should not be converted to an empty
string (via _.escape) because that will then be
stored in localStorage as the user set preference
and will keep overriding any other values set
in localStorage for the displayname.

* Skips setting undefined device id to sink in audio preview.

* Fallbacks to use labels for user selected devices.

* Fixes comment.

The state about currently opened devices is filtered and not stored, where we only store when user selects a device preferences.
Also allow changing input devices for Firefox when we are not in a conference.

When the iFrame api is used to set a preferred audio output using
options passed into the JitsiMeetExternalAPI constructor, no logic
fires to actually change the audio output destination.

Using anything non-serializable for action types is discouraged:
https://redux.js.org/faq/actions#actions

In fact, this is the Flow definition for dispatching actions:

declare export type DispatchAPI<A> = (action: A) => A;
declare export type Dispatch<A: { type: $Subtype<string> }> = DispatchAPI<A>;

Note how the `type` field is defined as a subtype of string, which Symbol isn’t.

* feat(welcome-page): be able to open settings dialog

- Create a getter for getting a settings tab's props so the device
  selection tab can get updated available devices.
- Be able to call a function from a tab after it has mounted. This is
  used for device selection to essentially call enumerateDevices on
  the welcome page so the device selectors are populated.
- Remove event UIEvents.AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_CHANGED. Instead directly call
  setAudioOutputDeviceId where possible.
- Fix initialization of the audioOutputDeviceId in settings by defaulting
  the audio output device to the one set in settings.

* squash: updateAvailableDevices -> getAvailableDevices, add comment for propsUpdateFunction

BaseApp does all the heavy-lifting related to creating the redux store,
navigation, and so on.

App currently handles URL props and actually triggering navigation based on
them.

Move it away from AbstractApp into an auxiliary function. In addition, introduce
a new `getServerURL` function which gets the configured server URL and defaults
to meet.jit.si as before.
