AgentOverview analytics wrong departmentId parameter (#25073 by @paulobernardoaf)

```
{
value: "department-id",
label: "department-name"
}
```
was being used in the departmentId parameter.

Client disconnection on network loss (#25170)

Agent gets disconnected (or Unregistered) from asterisk in multiple ways. The goal is that agent should remain online
unless agent explicitly logs off.
Agent can stop receiving calls in multiple ways due to network loss. Network loss can happen in following ways.
1. User tries to switch the network. User experiences a glitch of disconnectivity. This can be simulated by turning the network off
  in the network tab of chrome's dev tool. This can disconnect the UA if the disconnection happens just before the registration refresh.
2. Second reason is when computer goes in sleep mode.
3. Third reason is that when asterisk is crashed/in maintenance mode/explicitly stopped.
Solution:
The idea is to detect the network disconnection and start the start the attempts to reconnect.
The detection of the disconnection does not happen in case#1. The SIPUA's UserAgent transport does not
call onDisconnected when network loss of such kind happens. To tackle this problem, window's online and offline event handlers are
used.

The number of retries is configurable but ideally it is to be kept at -1. Whenever disconnection happens, it should keep on trying to
reconnect with increasing backoff time. This behaviour is useful when the asterisk is stopped.

When the server is disconnected, it should be indicated on the phone button.

VoIP disabled/enabled sequence puts voip agent in error state (#25230)

Initially it was thought that the issue occurs because of the race condition while changing the client settings vs those settings reflected on server side. So a natural solution to solve this is to wait for setting change event 'private-settings-changed'. Then if 'VoIP_Enabled' is updated and it is true, set voipEnabled to true in useVoipClient.ts (on client side)

It was realised that the race does not happen because of the database or server noticing the changes late. But because of the time taken to establish the AMI connection with Asterisk.

Solution:
1. Change apps/meteor/app/voip/server/startup.ts. When VoIP_Enabled is changed, await for Voip.init() to complete and then broadcast connector.statuschanged with changed value.
2. From apps/meteor/server/modules/listeners/listeners.module.ts use notifyLoggedInThisInstance to notify all logged in users on current instance.
3. in apps/meteor/client/providers/CallProvider/hooks/useVoipClient.ts add the event handler that receives this event. Change voipEnabled from constant to state. Change this state based on the 'value' that is received by the handler.

The package only included a few pre-built which caused all macs to have to compile every time they installed and also caused our alpine not to work.

This temporarily switches to a fork of the matrix-appservice-bridge package.

Made changes to one of its child dependencies matrix-rust-sdk-bindings that adds pre-built binaries for mac and musl (for alpine).
