fix(calls): the call bar shows "Call disconnected" and reconnects when sync is back (#318)

After a homeserver stall Element Call showed "Connection lost" while the
call bar still looked joined. Handle the fork's io.lotus.call_error:
show "Call disconnected" with a Reconnect button (io.lotus.reconnect),
and reconnect automatically once sync is back.

Fixes #318
