Apply suggestion from @Johennes

Extends the [RemoteTracks] logging from #4235 with the per-publication
encryption flag and the ParticipantEncryptionStatusChanged /
EncryptionError room events.

If a publisher encrypts frames while the subscriber believes the
publication is unencrypted, livekit-client bypasses the cryptor and hands
raw ciphertext to the decoder, which is audible as loud noise bursts.
The reverse mismatch (or a missing/invalid key) drops frames instead.
Neither case is visible in a rageshake today.
