fix(calls): read the EC iframe document defensively when the widget failed to load

When the Element Call frame's navigation fails (offline, blocked) it becomes a
cross-origin error page and `iframe.contentWindow.document` throws a
SecurityError. Every DOM-driven call hook (CallControl selectors, deafen DOM
fallback, useCallSpeakers/useRemoteAllMuted observers, CallEmbed theme
injection) read it unguarded, so the moment the 25 s load watchdog fired the
page logged a burst of uncaught SecurityErrors. Reproduced headless by aborting
the EC index request. One `getCallDocument()` helper now treats "can't read" as
"not loaded yet"; the watchdog overlay itself was already correct.
