Part of #23

While Jisti iframe Api interfaceConfigOverride mentioned APP_NAME,
APP_NAME doesn't have effect.
Jitsi team disabled APP_NAME due to users not respecting fair use instructions.

Convene is deploying its own instance of Jitsi so it's fair for us to
replace with Convene branding.

Ref: https://community.jitsi.org/t/app-name-doesnt-have-effect/71648/2

We might be able to dig into jitsi-meet React codebase to re-enable APP_NAME
but that would require us to build jitsi-meet frontend code upon deploy instead of
getting packages via apt-get.
If we ever have feature request for dynamic branding of Convene/ Jitsi, we could look into
that in the future.
If we want to have dynamic branding, I think we just need to edit this file and built our own jitsi-meet front end code, however I haven't test this approach.

Tested by ssh into convene-videobridge-zinc.zinc.coop
