Offline muc participants still visible, even with muc_fetch_members: false and message_archiving: "never"
Describe the bug
Trying to hide the offline members of muc rooms, I set the muc_fetch_members option to false. Unfortunately, I still see the offline members.
Looking at the DEBUG messages, I see the following message (where Alice is an offline participant) at log.js:72:19:

I'm surprised to see such messages as I do have message_archiving option set to "never".
Expected behavior Offline muc participants should be hidden.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Desktop or Mobile? Desktop and Mobile
- Browser [e.g. Chrome, Firefox] Chrome and Firefox
- Converse.js version [e.g. 4.2.0] v10.1.7
Additional context The XMPP server is ejabberd 24.07.
I found out the ejabberd configuration had a default_room_options: mam: true. Changing this to false and modifying the existing rooms fixed it.
I guess it overwrites converse's message_archiving option, even if we set it to "never", which is a bit counter-intuitive to me.
