Most (if not all) video chat apps show my local video mirrored. Element not doing it by default is makes it confusing at first. Even my phone camera app does it.
Not only matching other video chat tools out there, 99% of times you see yourself in your day to day life is through a mirror, which flips the image. So matching that makes the most sense, to preserve continuity.
This setting was made optional in #5437 but not defaulted to true.
Fixes #10651
