// This component lays out group call remote participants. It uses a custom layout
// algorithm (in other words, nothing that the browser provides, like flexbox) in
// order to animate the boxes as they move around, and to figure out the right fits.
//
// It's worth looking at the UI (or a design of it) to get an idea of how it works. Some
// things to notice:
//
// * Participants are arranged in 0 or more rows.
// * Each row is the same height, but each participant may have a different width.
// * It's possible, on small screens with lots of participants, to have participants
// removed from the grid. This is because participants have a minimum rendered height.
//
// There should be more specific comments throughout, but the high-level steps are:
//
// 1. Figure out the maximum number of possible rows that could fit on the screen; this is
// `maxRowCount`.
// 2. Figure out how many participants should be visible if all participants were rendered
// at the minimum height. Most of the time, we'll be able to render all of them, but on
// full calls with lots of participants, there could be some lost.
// 3. For each possible number of rows (starting at 0 and ending at `maxRowCount`),
// distribute participants across the rows at the minimum height. Then find the
// "scalar": how much can we scale these boxes up while still fitting them on the
// screen? The biggest scalar wins as the "best arrangement".
// 4. Lay out this arrangement on the screen.
