Not able to create instance of Participant.Identity

[ming-chu]

Describe the bug

It's not able to create Participant.Identity from String since the constructor was conflict with Decodable.

Participant.Identity(from: "my-id") // Error: Argument type 'String' does not conform to expected type 'Decoder'

Is that any workaround to init the instance from raw string id?

Thank you very much! Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!!

I recall that the idea was to encourage safety by using objects from Room.remoteParticipants.identity instead of allowing the arbitrary creation of Identity types.

But this can be inconvenient for some app designs, I can make it public.

Thank you for the response!

I think it will be more convenient for the RoomOptions at very beginning before we can get the ids from the list. ❤️
e.g set the DataPublishOptions.destinationIdentities in the RoomOptions.

I just submit a PR for this, please let me know if it looks ok to you or I can make the change further.
