Joining a room that doesn't contain a group call hits timeout error
Steps to reproduce
If you try to join a room that doesn't have an ongoing group call, EC will sit there for a bit and then eventually show a timeout error. This could be because you created the room in a different client (unlikely on EC since it has its own dedicated homeserver) or possibly that the client failed / was closed whilst creating the room, or otherwise failed to send the state event to create the call.
We could perhaps just automatically start a group call if we don't find a group call in it, or we could prompt, although it would be hard to find sensible wording for a prompt that covers both those cases (we also might not have permission to start a group call, in the general case).
Another thing we could do is add the group call state event to initialState in the createRoom call which would make the whole operation atomic, meaning the second case wouldn't happen.

Ah, I failed to read the resolution of the bug properly - thanks for doing that.
