Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Address review: move track pausing into WhipClient and
 rename to setAudioPaused/setVideoPaused

- Move the pause API and its backing flags from ClientBase down to WhipClient on
  iOS and Android, with the reapply helper private. It never worked for WHEP
  (tracks assigned in ClientBase were not reapplied) and it conflicted with
  WhepClient.pause()/unpause().
- Rename setAudioEnabled/setVideoEnabled to setAudioPaused/setVideoPaused so the
  API no longer clashes with WhipConfigurationOptions.audioEnabled/videoEnabled,
  which decide whether a track is created at all.
- Add TSDoc for the new WhipClientViewRef members.
- Demo: reset the pause toggles on disconnect and surface toggle errors on screen
  instead of swallowing them in console.error.
