desktop: pick a free port for the call server if 50395 is in use (#6963)

* desktop: pick a free port for the call server if 50395 is in use

startServer() bound a hard-coded port (50395); when it was already in use,
NanoWSD threw "BindException: Address already in use: bind" and the call
failed. It now falls back to an OS-assigned free port, and WebRTCController
opens the browser at the actually-bound port (server.listeningPort) -- still
50395 in the normal case, so browser camera/mic permission stays put.

* plans: justify call server port-bind fix

Desktop calls run WebRTC in the system browser, not an embedded WebView:
- **NanoWSD server** ([line 209](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L209)): `startServer()` creates a `NanoWSD` instance bound to `localhost:50395`. The server serves `call.html` from JAR resources at `/assets/www/desktop/call.html` for the path `/simplex/call/`. All other paths serve resources from `/assets/www/`.
- **NanoWSD server** ([line 209](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L209)): `startServer()` creates a `NanoWSD` instance bound to `localhost:50395`. If that port is already in use it falls back to an OS-assigned free port (`port 0`); `WebRTCController` reads `server.listeningPort` for the browser URL. The server serves `call.html` from JAR resources at `/assets/www/desktop/call.html` for the path `/simplex/call/`. All other paths serve resources from `/assets/www/`.
- **WebSocket communication** ([line 238](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L238)): `MyWebSocket` handles WebSocket frames from the browser. `onMessage` deserializes JSON into `WVAPIMessage` and forwards to the response handler. `onClose` triggers `WCallResponse.End`.
- **WebRTCController** ([line 153](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L153)): Opens `http://localhost:50395/simplex/call/` via `LocalUriHandler`. Processes `WCallCommand` queue by sending JSON over WebSocket to all active connections. On dispose, sends `WCallCommand.End` and stops the server.
- **WebRTCController** ([line 153](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L153)): Starts the server, then opens `http://localhost:<listeningPort>/simplex/call/` (normally `50395`) via `LocalUriHandler`. Processes `WCallCommand` queue by sending JSON over WebSocket to all active connections. On dispose, sends `WCallCommand.End` and stops the server.
- **SendStateUpdates** ([line 137](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L137)): Sends `WCallCommand.Description` with call state and encryption info text to the browser for display.
- **ActiveCallView** ([line 28](../../common/src/desktopMain/kotlin/chat/simplex/common/views/call/CallView.desktop.kt#L28)): Handles `WCallResponse` messages identically to Android (same state machine), plus a `WCallCommand.Permission` message on `Capabilities` error for browser permission denial guidance.
