Find Element Call's root by attribute, not by being the body

Six selectors named `body` directly — the gradient backdrop and the
platform font overrides in index.css, and the iOS adjustments in
AppBar.module.css and Modal.module.css — so they only applied when Element
Call owned the page. A host mounting it into a container would have got an
interface decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, with nothing to show
that anything was wrong.

Mark the root element with data-element-call-root and match on that
instead. Scoping this way keeps the selectors more specific than they were,
rather than less: widening them to a bare [data-platform=…] would have
dropped specificity from (0,1,1) to (0,1,0) and changed which rules win.

The platform attribute moves with them, from the initializer's write onto
document.body to a layout effect on the root, alongside the theme — so it
still lands before anything is painted.

No visual change while Element Call owns the page: the root is the body,
which now carries the attribute, so every rewritten selector matches the
element it always did.

* What remains body-specific is the standalone page's own furniture: the

* `index.html` starts the body hidden with `no-theme` until the theme lands.
* Neither applies when a host mounts Element Call into a container of its own.
