This adds further detail around the various additional release channels we have
for desktop. It also expands on the current state of enabling a feature by
default.
We should remove this at release time, but if we forget it should be vaguely worded well enough.
People keep assuming it'll just work even though the feature hasn't launched yet. The original theory was that a release was around the corner, but it's since been pushed back several times.
The documentation mentions that Labs features can be manipulated by
opening the Settings menu and selecting Labs. This feature is normally
disabled, so for most users this is not the case.
Add a link to the `config.md` file and a note that the Labs features
must be enabled in order to manipulate them.

Previously we were relying on an integration manager to be defined, functional, and alive in order to join Jitsi calls. This commit changes this so we aren't reliant on an integration manager for Jitsi calls at all, and gives people the option of choosing a Jitsi server via the config.json.
This side is just the wrapper/shell: the logic is mostly in the react-sdk (to be linked via PRs). This layer simply has an HTML file exported that can be used to render a Jitsi widget, and the react-sdk constructs a URL to access it locally. This is similar to how the mobile apps handle Jitsi widgets: instead of iframing the widget URL directly into the app, they pull apart the widget information and natively render it. We're effectively doing the same here by parsing the widget options and using our local wrapper instead of whatever happens to be defined in the widget state event.
Integration managers should still continue to offer a widget URL for Jitsi widgets as this is what the spec requires.
A large part of this is based upon Dimension's handling of Jitsi and widgets in general: a license has been granted to allow Riot (and therefore the react-sdk) to use the code and be inspired by it.
