fix: address PR review — stale comments, createCallLink compat, relay guard

- Fix call link URL: remove media prefix (Frida shows https://call.whatsapp.com/<token>)
- Make createCallLink() backward compatible with chats.ts signature (event, timeoutMs)
- Guard CB:relay handler — require both callId AND callCreator before emitting
- Extract extractParticipants() helper to eliminate 3x code duplication
