Stop asking whether Element Call is a widget

The remaining reads of the widget global were all asking one of two
different questions, so they get two different answers.

The app shell — the auth hooks, automatic guest registration, the group
call loader's diagnostic and the initial mute state — wants to know
whether Element Call was launched as a widget. That is a property of the
URL it was launched with, so expose the isWidget that computeUrlParams
already computed internally, documented as being for shell use only.

The call interface — whether to offer the profile settings tab — wants to
know something about its host, so it asks the bridge. A host that can
dismiss Element Call owns the user's account, so their profile is not ours
to edit; this reuses the close capability as a proxy, with a TODO
alongside the others.

ClientContext also takes supportsReactions from the bridge rather than
checking four widget capabilities itself, which removes widgetApi from
InitResult — a field that was always null outside widget mode.

Note this changes behaviour for a malformed widget URL: one carrying a
widget ID and parent URL but missing the room, user, device or base URL
would previously have fallen back to registering a guest user, and will
now not.
