♻️(frontend) derive is_administrable from participant metadata

The is_administrable flag was previously read from the room API response through the room serializer, giving the frontend static information about the user's rights. Refactor the frontend so it derives this flag from the participant role carried in the participant metadata instead. Two benefits: * The flag now updates live along with the participant attributes/metadata, so role changes are reflected immediately. * It removes the duplication between the API response and the metadata, which both used to determine the user's capabilities.
✨(frontend) add client for the update participant role endpoint
