Layout shift from 12 to >12 people is horrible

[ara4n]

Steps to reproduce

1. Be on a 12 person call, in a nice wide 4*3 layout. Double clicking on a user zooms them to almost full screen, while leaving all other users visible.
2. 13th person joins
3. Layout reforms into a very small grid of thumbnails, which don't use all available space vertically /or/ horizontally (with large amounts of dead space to the left & right, if viewed on a typical fullscreen 1920x1080 style resolution laptop screen). Double-clicking on a user zooms them slightly (3x wider and 2x higher than other thumbnails).

Outcome

What did you expect?

Rather than a huge layout shift from 12 to 13 users, keep the same pattern going - e.g. use grid layout for everything.

From discussion with @americanrefugee @fkwp: This should be solved when we move to a single grid engine.
