Subject: [PATCH] fix: Catch TimeoutError when joining MUC

This commit updates `bridge.py` to properly `await` the `join_muc_wait()`
coroutine instead of calling the deprecated `join_muc()`. This prevents
an unretrieved Task exception (`asyncio.TimeoutError`) from polluting
the logs or crashing the background task if the XMPP server is slow
or doesn't respond to the MUC join request in time.
