Marketplace new app details page (#24711)

Change the app details page layout for the new marketplace UI. General Task: MKP12 - New UI - App Detail Page

MKP12 - Tab Navigation

New tab navigation layout for the app details page. Now the app details page is divided into three sections, details, logs, and settings, that can each be accessed through a Tabs fuselage component.

Demo gif:

MKP12 - Header

Implemented a new header for the marketplaces app details page.
-Changed the size of the app name;
-Implemented the app description field on the header;
-Changed the "metadata" section of the header(The part with the version and author information) now it also shows the last time the app was updated;
-Created a chip that will show when an app is part of one or more bundles and inform which are the bundles;
-Implemented a tooltip for the bundle chips;
-Created a new button + data badge component to substitute the current App Status;
-Changed the title of the "purchase button". Now it shows different text based on the "purchase type" of the app;
-Created a new Pricing & Status display which shows the price when the app is not bought/installed and shows the app status(Enabled/Disabled) when it is bought/installed;
-Changed the way the tabs are rendered, now if the app is not installed(and consequently doesn't have logs and settings tab) it will not render these tabs;

Demo gif:

MKP12 - Configuration Tab

Delivered together with the tab-navigation task. Changed the app settings from the details of the app to the new settings tab.
Demo image:

MKP12 - Log Tab

Changed the place of the app logs from the page to the new logs tab. Also changed some styles of the logs accordions to fit better with the new container.

Before:

After

MKP12 - Page Header

Changed the design for the page header of the app details page from a title on the left with a save and back button on the right to a back arrow icon on the left side of the title with the save button still on the right. Also changed the title of the page from App details to Back.
Edit: After some design reconsideration, the page title was changed to App Info.
Demo gif:

MKP12 - Detail Tab

Implemented markdown on the description section of the app details page, now the description will show the detailedDescription.rendered (as rendered JSX) information in case it exists and show the description (a.k.a. short description) information in case it doesn't. Unfortunately, as of right now no app has a visual example of a markdown description and because of that, I will not be able to provide a demo image/gif for this PR.

MKP12 - Slider Component

Created an image carousel component on the app details page. This component receives images from the apps/appId/screenshots endpoint and shows them on the content section of the app details of any apps that have screenshots registered, if the app has no screenshots it simply shows nothing where the carousel should be. This component is complete with keyboard arrow navigation on the "open" carousel, hover highlight on the carousel preview and close on esc press.
Demo gif:
Message Template React Component (#23971)

Complete rewrite of the messages component in react. Visual changes should be minimal as well as user impact, with no break changes (unless you've customized the blaze template).

In case you encounter any problems, or want to compare, temporarily it is possible to use the old version
New button for network outage (#25499)

When network outage happens it should be conveyed to the user with special icon. This icon should not be clickable.
Network outage handling is handled in https://app.clickup.com/t/245c0d8 task.

Change NPS Vote identifier + nps index to unique (#25423)
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.

Fixing Network connectivity issues with SIP client. (#25391)

The previous PR #25170 did not handle the issues completely.
This PR is expected to handle
1. Clearing call related UI when the network is disconnected or switched.
2. Do clean connectivity. There were few issues discovered in earlier implementation. e.g endpoint would randomly
  get disconnected after a while. This was due to the fact that the earlier socket disconnection caused the
  removal of contact on asterisk. This should be fixed in this PR.
3. This PR contains a lot of logs. This will be removed before the final merge.

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.
