Auto-elect a new focus if the original bails about jitsi-meet HOT 9 CLOSED

easy optimization: if the focus leaves and you're the only person remaining in the chat, you become the focus.

that optimization probably means you can just reuse the list_members from the muc module.

so just writing down what i had in mind:

1. Upon entry every person checks if there are other participants there before him.
2. If !1 they become focus
3. If 1 they just become a participant but they also somehow record the number of people that were there before them.
4. Everytime someone leaves they check if that participant was there before them and if so they remove it from the list recorded in 3 and go back to one.

If list_members records things in order of joining and is guaranteed to be the same for everyone, then the members preceding a participant in there can be used as the list from "3".

it's easier. You become the new focus if you're list_members[0]. Oh well, i don't think we record self-presence in list_members yet... mh!

just committed said strategy, thanks @emcho for the suggestion. We just need a little information message for the user now... @yanas?
