Render error state for audio components

Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/17148

Both `AudioPlayer` and `RecordingPlayback` got a fragment added to their DOM structure, to incorporate the rarely seen error message below it. Additionally, a missing try/catch was added to the `Playback` class to handle uncaught decoding issues.

The similarity of the components is tracked in https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/18161
