Timo K. 5c6d2f0891 Update SDK to be consumed by Element Call's CallViewModel
Update the public API to export the primitives and operators the call
model needs, and change `LocalMediaInputs` from observable flags to
immediate booleans with imperative setters. Add session timings, media
quality and capture settings as configuration options, and allow the
host to override the transport discovery with explicit URLs.

# MatrixRTC SDK (EXPERIMENTAL)
`@element-hq/matrixrtc-sdk` is the call model under Element Call, on its own:
MatrixRTC memberships and transports, LiveKit connections, publishing, E2EE keys and
the media of every member, as observables. It has no UI. Element Call's own
`CallViewModel` is meant to become one consumer of it. The design is in
[`SdkArchitecture.md`](./SdkArchitecture.md), the migration from the view model
in [`SdkMigration.md`](./SdkMigration.md).
**Status:** first implementation. `createMatrixRTCClient` joins the session, connects to
the transport, publishes the local media and exposes every member's media; the
development harness and its e2e tests in `playwright/sdk` drive it, and Element
Call's own `CallViewModel` is built on it. It depends on nothing in Element Call's
`src/`.
## Using it
```ts
import {
constant,
createMatrixRTCClient,
E2eeType,
MatrixRTCMode,
ObservableScope,
} from "@element-hq/matrixrtc-sdk";
const scope = new ObservableScope();
const rtcClient = createMatrixRTCClient(
scope,
client, // a matrix-js-sdk MatrixClient, logged in and syncing
room, // the matrix-js-sdk Room, from client.getRoom() once the join has synced
{
microphoneEnabled: true,
cameraEnabled: true,
audioInputDeviceId$: constant(undefined),
videoInputDeviceId$: constant(undefined),
audioOutputDeviceId$: constant(undefined),
videoProcessor$: constant(undefined),
},
{
encryptionSystem: { kind: E2eeType.PER_PARTICIPANT },
matrixRTCMode: MatrixRTCMode.Compatibility,
},
);
rtcClient.join();
rtcClient.remoteMembers$.subscribe((members) => {
// each member has displayName$, media$ and more; a media track is rendered
// by handing it a <video> or <audio> element: track.attach(element)
});
// later
rtcClient.leave();
scope.end();
```
[`dev/main.ts`](./dev/main.ts) is this example as a working page.
## Development
Everything runs from the repository root. This directory is a pnpm project of its
own only so that a host can install it as a git dependency (see
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`).
```sh
pnpm dev:sdk # the harness, https://localhost:3002
pnpm build:sdk # dist/matrixrtc-sdk.js and dist/types
pnpm test:playwright playwright/sdk # needs `pnpm backend`
```
## Installing
```sh
pnpm add github:element-hq/element-call#<ref>&path:/sdk
```
The host supplies `matrix-js-sdk`, `livekit-client` and `rxjs`; the build leaves
them external.
