v0.10.0

This release brings some changes to how encryption keys are shared to other participants: in encrypted rooms, Element Call will now use to-device messages rather than room messages by default. For now, Element Call will still automatically fall back to the room messages method for compatibility with older clients. But this already brings some significant performance improvements, and will provide a foundation for further improvements to the security of calls (forward secrecy and post-compromise security related).

We also have some improvements to the docs, primarily around our self-hosting guide and a section featuring some community guides and how-tos.
