- New `AudioLevelCalculator` that outputs dB0v rescaled to the [0;1] range.
- `VoiceRecorder` now stores the audio levels sampled while recording, then resamples them to 100 samples to use as waveform preview.
- Waveform data is carried all the way as a `List<Float>` and converted to `List<Int>` in the [0;1024] range as per matrix spec only before sending it.
* Update the chat screen UI using `RoomInfo`.
This is specially useful for getting live values for `hasRoomCall`.
* Ensure the first `MatrixRoomInfo` is emitted ASAP
* Try excluding `*Present$present$*` inner functions from kover as separate entities
* Update strings

This is in preparation of further changes to the way the audio level is computed and to allow recording and sending of the waveform. The main reasoning behind the change is twofold:
1) We don't need the precision of Double in our context (we just need a rough indication of the changes in audio level to successfully draw a level meter or a waveform in our UI).
2) Performance: It is true that on 64 bit CPUs single operations involving Floats or Doubles take the same amount of time (i.e one clock cycle). But there are other aspects here that vouch in favor of Floats:
- A float takes half the space in memory compared to a double, so when storing long lists of them this can add up.
- On Android O and greater the ART runtime can "vectorize" certain operations on lists and make use of the CPU's SIMD registers which are generally 128 bits. So by using floats 4 of them can fit and be computed at the same time whilst with doubles only 2 will fit halving the throughput.
