[BUG] jid changed to lid in group-participants.update

[kavionn]

Describe the bug
When someone enters or leaves a group, the event group-participants.update sometimes records participant IDs ending with @lid instead of the expected @s.whatsapp.net JIDs.

clips.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (room) => {
   console.log(room.participants)
}

Expected behavior
Participant IDs should consistently use @s.whatsapp.net JIDs. The event should not emit @lid.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Is this on a server? yes
• What do your connectOptions look like? default
• Do you have multiple clients on the same IP? yes
• Are you using a proxy? no

This is a new behavior on Whatsapp groups to prevent the real phone numbers from being exposed. @lid stands for "Link ID" and is unique for each group.

So how do you detect the number of someone who just joined the group?

It is not linked to each group, it is linked to each user and it is a hidden user id and not a "link id"

Not Possible anymore.
You are able to get the LID with the JID but NOT the JID with the LID

Thats what whatsapp wants. To make the Users Numbers Invisible.
