Subject: [PATCH] fix: pass audio/video URL params to EC for correct initial
 device state

- Camera no longer starts enabled when user disables it in prescreen
- When PTT mode is enabled, call starts muted so PTT works immediately
  without requiring a manual mute first
- CallControlState also updated to match the forced-off audio for PTT

EC 0.16.x ignores io.element.device_mute for initial state at startup,
so audio= and video= URL params are the only reliable way to set the
initial device state before the call begins.
