Subject: [PATCH] feat(lotus): keep your own tile on mobile with the camera off
 (cinny #265)

Upstream drops the local PiP in the one-on-one mobile layout whenever the
local camera is off. In Lotus voice rooms that is nearly always, so on a
phone you never saw yourself or your own speaking ring. Show it as the
desktop layout does; the tile falls back to your avatar. Tests updated.
