Discussed a bit with Marco

When a user is added directly to a breakout room, we should add them to the parent room too or prevent adding

Should add to the parent room as well.

Should prevent direct deletion of individual rooms when they are breakout rooms (as it breaks the mapping?). Only possible via the remove all breakout rooms

Would be cool to handle it nevertheless, as we also will allow later on creating more rooms
