Risk here might be that this would imply joining a call with no transceivers, which probably isn't possible (?). I suggest that we just always negotiate a usermedia channel as we do now, but keep the media muted (muting video now releases the webcam anyway so it will be effectively the same as that).

For testing we need to enable the feature in the in config.json with:

{
  ...
  "features": {
      "feature_group_calls_without_video_and_audio": true
    }
}
