Rocket.chat.electron: Upgrading to the latest Stable Electron Version

[Somtozech]

This might solve some crash/incompatibility issues.

I tried delivering Rocket.Chat with electorn 8 on Arch. It has issues with previous user data in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME but all files are recreated properly if you remove existing configs. Obviously, user configurations have to be redone.

Electron 8 breaks closing to tray, or rather "Tray Icon" in general.

Jitsi has just rolled out end-to-end encrypted video conference; https://jitsi.org/blog/e2ee/
This requires Chromium 83 because it uses the new chromium WebRTC API called "Insertable Streams".

Electron 9 has hit stable last week with chromium 83. https://www.electronjs.org/releases/stable#9.0.0

Please upgrade Rocket Chat Electron client to electron 9 so that we can use jitsi with end to end encryption.

Newest stable electron is now 9.0.4. When will rocket.chat be upgraded to this version?

Got an answer in the #support chat on rocket.chat:
"They'll take care of this ASAP!"

Thanks a lot for a new updated electron version (https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/blob/master/package.json#L90).
This issue should be closed.

EDIT: Created a new issue about the end to end encryption in jitsi: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/issues/1806
