✨(all) allow any authenticated user to start a recording

Any authenticated participant can now start a recording on trusted
and public rooms. This is essential, requested by many users, and
should encourage people to authenticate on public rooms. It also
means the starter may hold no role on the room, so who gets access
to the recording has to be decided explicitly.

The part open to discussion is the recording access: who should be
owner/admin on the recording. This commit picks the simplest
design:

* The starter and the room's owners and administrators all get an
  `OWNER` `RecordingAccess`, so they can retrieve, download and
  delete the recording, and they all receive the "recording ready"
  email.
* Room roles are copied when the recording starts: later changes
  to the room's accesses do not affect existing recordings.

The people responsible for a meeting should get access to its
recording and transcript, along with whoever initiated it.

One constraint is respected: the summary service creates a doc,
and the docs API can only attribute it to a single owner. The
summary therefore goes to the oldest `OWNER`, and the starter's
access is created before the room owners/admins ones, so the
starter receives it. The previous lookup took `.first()` with the
default newest-first ordering, which with several owners would
have picked a room admin.

Alternatives considered:

* A `creator` attribute on the recording row: it only adds a
  migration without adding value to access control, so it was
  dropped.
* Restricting access to the link owner even when someone else
  starts the recording: some organizations may want this for
  security reasons, but it is YAGNI until a few large clients ask
  for it.

I think we should contribute to Docs' api to allow sharing the
transcription document with several users.

La Suite Meet offers a room recording feature that is currently in beta, with ongoing improvements planned.
The feature allows users to record their room sessions. When a recording is complete, the room owner receives a notification with a link to download the recorded file. Recordings are automatically deleted after `RECORDING_EXPIRATION_DAYS`.
The feature allows users to record their room sessions. When a recording is complete, the user who started it and the room's owners and administrators receive a notification with a link to download the recorded file. The transcript summary is sent to the user who started the recording. Recordings are automatically deleted after `RECORDING_EXPIRATION_DAYS`.
It uses LiveKit Egress to record room sessions. For reference, see the [LiveKit Egress repository](https://github.com/livekit/egress) and the [official documentation](https://docs.livekit.io/home/egress/overview/).
