Save to home screen to create better mobile experience

This is also called "PWA mode" but from the PWA features OpenMeetings is simply using Icon, splash screen and some restrictions on the browser to hide the URL/navigation bar and fix to landscape mode (Android only). But it creates more of a Mobile native app look and feel. And improves the browser . experience.

Info
Prerequisites: Application needs to be opened in HTTPS and with a valid certificate. And in iOS you require Safari v15.x or later in order to share your camera.
