Let the shell say where home is, and drop the router from the call

The call reached for react-router in five places to send the user
"home": on leaving without a lobby, from the lobby's recents link, from
the post-call screen, from the error page's return button and from the
header logo. Home is the standalone app's home page; the call has no
idea where that is, and a component has no such place at all — its host
decides what follows a call. Yet the component had to mount a
MemoryRouter just so those hooks would not throw.

`useLeaveToHome` is the way home as the shell supplies it: the app
provides `navigate("/")` from inside its router, the component provides
nothing, and everything that used to link to "/" now either calls it or,
when there is none, offers no way out. The logo becomes a plain logo,
the recents and "not now" links disappear, the error page's button does
too. `ClientProvider`'s logout goes the same way. The component no
longer renders a router.
