Risky Meeting

You get a new flag to control whether meet includes a secure random portion in the URL, for situations where you want to accept more risk:

$ meet --insecure usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/UsualHangout
$ meet usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/pgPcw9/UsualHangout
$ meet --init
Base url (meet.jit.si): 
Add random letters to URL for security? (Y/n): n
📝 wrote config to /home/user/.config/meet/settings.yml
$ meet usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/UsualHangout
$ meet --secure secret hangout
https://meet.jit.si/a18h2o/SecretHangout

Our secure random string generation is also upgraded from base64 to base58. This provides superior usability by removing easily-confused characters like I vs l, 0 vs O. The result is still a secure random string just like before, but now it's easier to type in, especially on mobile.

Awkward characters like /, #, and ? in titles would previously create invalid URLs. Now they're replaced with . instead.
