fix(a11y): correct call-control aria + picker/recorder/live-chip UX (DP7-DP12)

DP7: fix inverted Deafen/Undeafen aria-label on the sound button so it
  matches the action and tooltip.
DP8: add aria-pressed to Sound/Video/ScreenShare toggles and align the
  Microphone toggle to the same "pressed = feature on/active" semantic.
DP9: return focus to the trigger when the GifPicker closes and cap its
  fixed width to min(312px, calc(100vw - 16px)) so it can't overflow
  narrow viewports.
DP10: drop redundant mouse-only clear onClick nested inside the search
  filter Chip buttons (parent chip/menu already performs the clear);
  the cross icons are now purely decorative.
DP11: constrain the voice recorder widget and let the waveform shrink so
  it fits a narrow composer, and expose the live duration as a role="timer"
  snapshot instead of spamming a screen reader every 100ms.
DP12: announce the live-call participant count via a visually-hidden
  role="status" region.
