v0.13.0

Native audio device handling

This release delivers a significant upgrade to the audio experience, with a particular focus on mobile devices. We've enhanced Element Call to provide a more native, phone-call-like experience when used within Element X.

Key improvements include:

• Support for earpiece audio output on both Android and iOS
• Convenient toggle button in the main menu to switch between earpiece and loudspeaker modes
• Proximity sensor integration that automatically turns off the screen when the device is held against your ear in earpiece mode

These changes represent a major step forward in making Element Call feel like a natural extension of your device's native calling capabilities.

• Audio device controls for mobile native audio device selection by @toger5 in #3270
• Mute camera in earpiece mode by @toger5 in #3351
• Earpiece switcher and overlay by @robintown in #3347
