Layout:
Use an absolute-fill view as the background with the sidebar on top of. This
greatly simplifies styling, as there is no need to calculate how large the
backdrop needs to be.
Animation:
Switch to a translateX transform animation. This serves 2 purposes: first,
there seems to be a bug somewhere in React Native 0.51-0.55 where the content
that is being animated starts to be clipped. Very weird! But more importantly,
translateX transmorm animations are supported by the native animation driver!
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2017/02/14/using-native-driver-for-animated.html8f5ebe5952/Libraries/Animated/src/NativeAnimatedHelper.js (L138-L176)
This makes the animation more performant and buttery smooth.
Some small cleanups are also included here.
Previously a new call id was generated for INVITE and CANCEL.
Now the id generated during the initial INVITE will be used for
corresponding CANCEL events. Also, adding the ability to
trigger a call cancel via the poltergeist update api.
Instead of keeping dominant speaker locally, get it from redux and be
updated when the dominant speaker changes. This is in an attempt to mimic
the video layout being reactified and connected to redux.
The current poltergeist http api immediately returns
and does not wait for async work in the handler to finish. This
mostly occurs when a public asap key needs to be fetched due
to a cache miss. The fix implements the strategy described at
https://prosody.im/doc/developers/http.html
The visibility of the toolbar can be toggled by interacting with the main screen.
This change allows the toolbar to be configured to be 'always visible'. This voids
the 'toggle' functionality.
Simplify parts of the logic introduced in

Specificaly, using all the state change avoiding functions doesn't give us much
since we need to copy the state for sure.
Makes sure that whenever a conference is left or switched, the local
participant's id will be equal to the default value.
The problem fixed by this commit is a situation where the local
participant may end up sharing the same ID with it's "ghost" when
rejoining a disconnected conference. The most important and easiest to
hit case is when the conference is left after the CONFERENCE_FAILED
event.
Another rare and harder to encounter in the real world issue is
where CONFERENCE_LEFT may come with the delay due to it's asynchronous
nature. The step by step scenario is as follows: trying to leave a
conference, but the network is not doing well, so it takes time,
requests are timing out. After getting back to the welcome page the
the CONFERENCE_LEFT has not arrived yet. The same conference is joined
again and the load config may timeout, but it will be read from the
cache. Now the network gets better and conference is joining which
results in our ghost participant added to the redux state. At this point
there's the root issue: two participants with the same id, because the
local one was neither cleared nor set to the new one yet
(PARTICIPANT_JOINED come, before CONFERENCE_JOINED where we adjust the
id). Then comes CONFERENCE_JOINED and we try to update our local id.
We're updating the ID of both ghost and local participant. It could be
also that the delayed CONFERENCE_LEFT comes for the old conference, but
it's too late and it would update the id for both participants.
The approach here reasons that the ID of the local participant
may be reset as soon as the local participant and, respectively, her ID
is no longer involved in a recoverable JitsiConference of interest to
the user and, consequently, the app.
