Fixes #42003

Problem

The audio recorder (AudioEncoder.ts) has produced audio/mpeg blobs since
v3.5.1 (#18426), but the composer's mic-button enable check in
useAudioMessageAction.ts still only matched the legacy audio/mp3 MIME
type against the FileUpload_MediaTypeWhiteList / FileUpload_MediaTypeBlackList
settings. Admins who correctly whitelisted audio/mpeg saw the mic button
permanently disabled, with no error or log entry.

Fix

  • Match audio/mpeg in addition to audio/mp3 in the whitelist/blacklist
    regex (kept audio/mp3 for backward compatibility with existing configs).
  • Corrected the Message_AudioRecorderEnabled_Description setting text,
    which still referenced audio/mp3.
  • Added a unit test covering: mpeg whitelisted → enabled, legacy mp3
    whitelisted → still enabled, neither → disabled.
  • Added a changeset.

How to test

  1. Admin → File Upload → set Media Type White List to audio/mpeg
  2. Open any channel — mic button in the composer should now be enabled.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the legacy audio/mp3 compatibility too.

The action accepts both audio/mpeg and audio/mp3, but this description lists only audio/mpeg. Users with a valid legacy configuration may change it unnecessarily. Mention both accepted media types.

Proposed wording
-  "Message_AudioRecorderEnabled_Description": "Requires 'audio/mpeg' files to be an accepted media type within 'File Upload' settings.",
+  "Message_AudioRecorderEnabled_Description": "Requires either 'audio/mpeg' or legacy 'audio/mp3' as an accepted media type within 'File Upload' settings.",
