Valere c0a54dcaf9 Derive the component's defaults from an intent, not the host's URL
The component seeded its parameters with `computeUrlParams()`, which reads
`window.location`. Element Call is not the page any more, so what it found
there was the host's URL: no `widgetId`, therefore not a widget, therefore no
intent, therefore the standalone app's preset.

The visible symptom was the Element Call logo in the footer of a call embedded
in someone else's application, since `showLogo` follows `header ===
HeaderStyle.Standard`. The rest of that preset mattered more. A hosted call
defaulted to `perParticipantE2EE: false` and `confineToRoom: false` — so
unencrypted, and willing to take the user out of the room a host had put them
in — and a host could not correct either without naming every parameter
itself, nor even name `header`, since the enums were not exported.

So the intent presets move out of `computeUrlParams` into
`configurationForIntent`, and the component builds its parameters from an
intent plus the properties a host has no URL to supply. `intent` becomes a
prop, defaulting to joining an existing group call: the lobby first, confined
to the room, encrypted per participant, and no Element Call branding in
someone else's interface. A host that knows which button the user pressed
should say which.

One deliberate difference from the widget presets: the background defaults to
solid rather than the gradient, which is drawn by a `position: fixed`
pseudo-element and would escape the container to cover the host.

`UserIntent.Unknown` still means the standalone preset, so the app and widget
are unchanged — including a widget that names no intent, which has always been
given those defaults.

/**
* EXPERIMENTAL
*
* Element Call as a React component, for an application that wants to show a
* call inside itself rather than in an iframe.
*
* The host supplies the client and says which room to call in; Element Call
* supplies the call. Everything it would otherwise take from the page it is on
* — the URL, the document body, a Matrix session of its own — comes from the
* host instead, or is confined to the container it is mounted in.

// declares unlayered is custom properties on Element Call's root, which
// components inherit rather than compete with, and everything from Compound
// sits in a `@layer`, which loses to unlayered rules either way.
