Force Layout and Preserve Participant Call

Cells in a forced layout that were assigned to endpoints that have disconnected, have paused their video,
or have been deleted from the conference will remain black until the endpoint reconnects, a new layout is
used, or the conference ends.
This version adds the option to prevent the MCU from reassigning cells in a forced layout that were assigned
to endpoints that have disconnected, have paused their video, or have been deleted from the conference.
The cell will remain black until the endpoint reconnects, a new layout is used, or the conference ends.
A new flag, PRESERVE_PARTY_CELL_ON_FORCE_LAYOUT, has been added to control this option.
This flag must be manually added to change its value. The values of this flag are:
● NO (Default) - Cells for dropped endpoints are reassigned. Endpoints that reconnect will be treated
as new endpoints.
