- sync declined calls from callee to caller, as usual in all larger
messengers
- introduce the call states "Missed call", "Declined call" and
"Cancelled all" ("Ended call" is gone)
- allow calling end_call()/accept_call() for already ended/accepted
calls, in practise, handling all cornercases is tricky in UI - and the
state needs anyways to be tracked.
- track and show the call duration
the duration calculation depends on local time, but it is displayed only
coarse and is not needed for any state. this can be improved as needed,
timestamps of the corresponding messages are probably better at some
point. or ending device sends its view of the time around. but for the
first throw, it seems good enough
if we finally want that set of states, it can be exposed to a json-info
in a subsequent call, so that the UI can render it more nicely. fallback
strings as follows will stay for now to make adaption in other UI easy,
and for debugging:

this PR uses the initial "call messages" (that has a separate viewtype
since #7174) to show all call status.
this is what most other messengers are doing as well. additional "info
messages" after a call are no longer needed.
on the wire, as we cannot pickpack on visible info messages, we use
hidden messages, similar to eg. webxdc status updates.
in future PR, it is planned to allow getting call state as a json, so
that UI can render nicely. it is then decided if we want to translate
the strings in the core.

a dedicated viewtype allows the UI to show a more advanced UI, but even
when using the defaults,
it has the advantage that incoming/outgoing and the date are directly
visible.
