We now allow users to create voice calls when their call provider is BigBlueButton. This is done by creating a call where cameras are disabled for all participants in the call -- a voice call, and making only the call creator the moderator, so no one else can switch a voice only call to a video call. Also, we stop using the deprecated fields "attendeePW" and "moderatorPW" in the Big Blue Button API, and use "role" instead. The side effects are that now we only support BigBlueButton 2.4 and above, and that only the call creator is a moderator and all other joinees are viewers for all BigBlueButton calls. Fixes: #26550. Most of the code for the integration was written by Nehal. Apoorva made the changes that resolve conflicts which were introduced because of the `typed_endpoint` decorator. With some documentation tweaks by tabbott. Co-authored-by: Apoorva Pendse <apoorvavpendse@gmail.com>
