Put an added background on before joining, not during a call

- Before joining nobody sees the change, so the picture goes on at once
- In a call it waits to be chosen: otherwise choosing a file would change
  what everyone sees with no further word from the user
- Teams draws the line in the same place, which is what settled it: a
  background added before joining applies by itself there, one added in a
  meeting has to be applied
- The footer learns which side of joining it is on from its view model,
  since the lobby and the call build their own
