As of the removal of 'Legacy' mode, there can no longer be a difference between the transport you advertise in your membership and the transport you publish media on, so the local transport code can be simplified considerably. For instance, the function which gets the local transport can simply return a promise rather than being reactive.
I kept the local transport as an Observable in other modules so that they could easily be tested with existing marble tests.
Warn when ConnectionManagerData merges participants from a second
connection to the same SFU URL, when more than one LiveKit participant
matches a member's backend identity, and when a scope is ended while one
of its behaviors is still delivering a value (which strands the later
bound subscribers on the old value). The per-member match log now also
names the connection the participant came from.
To correctly implement the legacy "oldest membership" mode, we need the code to be more nuanced about the local transport. Specifically, it needs to allow for the transport we advertise in our membership to be different from the transport that we connect to and publish media on. Otherwise, if these two are yoked together, members will resend their memberships whenever an SFU hop occurs, which an attacker could use to cause an amplified wave of state changes.
It's always worth having logs for when state holders are created or destroyed (these are often the most interesting things happening in the application), so I thought it would be nice to have generateItems always log for you when it's doing that.

The local jwt token needs to be aquired via the right endpoint. The
endpoint defines how our rtcBackendIdentity is computed. Based on us
using sticky events or state events we also need to use the right
endpoint. This cannot be done generically in the connection manager. The
jwt token now is computed in the localTransport and the resolved sfu
config is passed to the connection manager.
Add JWT endpoint version and SFU config support Pin matrix-js-sdk to a
specific commit and update dev auth image tag. Propagate SFU config and
JWT endpoint choice through local transport, ConnectionManager and
Connection; add JwtEndpointVersion enum and LocalTransportWithSFUConfig
type. Add NO_MATRIX_2 auth error and locale string, thread
rtcBackendIdentity through UI props, and include related test, CSS and
minor imports updates
We would show 'waiting for media' on participants that were connected but had no published tracks, because we were filtering them out of the remote participants list on connections. I believe this was done in an attempt to limit our view to only the participants that have a matching MatrixRTC membership. But that's fully redundant to the "Matrix-LiveKit members" module, which actually has the right information to do this (the MatrixRTC memberships).
Semantically, behaviors are only meaningful for as long as their scope is running. Setting a behavior's value to an empty array once its scope ends is not guaranteed to work (as it depends on execution order of how the scope is ended), and subscribers should be robust enough to handle clean-up of all connections at the end of the scope either way.
