A group call is N-1 ordinary 1:1 calls, one to each other member, each riding
the pairwise session that member already has — a transport a human already
authenticated by comparing the safety code. No mixer, no SFU, no point at which
two people's media meets anywhere but on a device.

Call control is separate from call media, because the two reach different sets
of people. Who opened a call, who joined and who left travels as group frames
signed with the sender's group identity key, so it reaches members currently
reachable only through a relay — and a relaying member can drop one but cannot
write one. Media flows only where a direct link exists, so a member without one
shows as connecting rather than being omitted. Frames carry a per-sender
sequence checked before the action, so a captured leave cannot end a later call,
and simultaneous calls converge on the lower random call id.

One capture is shared across every leg rather than one getUserMedia per member,
and legs answer without prompting: the flag permitting that is set only locally,
only while this user is in the call, and cleared when they leave.

UI: a gallery that sizes itself from the space it has, a spotlight view, an
active-speaker indicator read from the waveform, and the call surface in the
same visual language as the 1:1 one.

Also in this commit, the v6.5.0 language-suggestion work that had not been
pushed yet; its notes are in the changelog. And two fixes: the safety-code input
asks for digits rather than text, and starting a new chat from inside a group no
longer creates it behind the group where it cannot be seen — which had made it
impossible to connect to anyone new, or to add anyone to a group, while a group
was open.
