feat: Add EventType::CallMissed and emit it for missed calls (#7840)

iequidoo · iequidoo · commit ee0a0a6c3d9f · 2026-04-09T09:05:13.000-03:00
Before, only `CallEnded` was emitted for missed calls, or, if a call arrives already being stale,
`IncomingMsg`. Now:
- `CallMissed` is emitted in addition to `CallEnded`.
- `IncomingMsg` is replaced with `CallMissed` for stale calls.
Having only one event type for missed calls should simplify handling them in the apps.

This doesn't emit `CallMissed` for those who aren't allowed to call us. Also, don't emit `CallEnded`
if the caller isn't allowed to call us and the call wasn't accepted, as there's no previous
`IncomingCall` event in this case.
