This update removes the outdated 'hasSelfAsMember' feature in WhatsApp messaging. The system now directly uses 'self_member_id' for identification, streamlining the process and improving reliability. This change ensures consistent and accurate messaging functionality.

Since https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/236494 `hasSelfAsMember` has been removed in favor of using `self_member_id` directly.

This update removes a redundant method in the Call model, streamlining the process of receiving data from the server. The framework now automatically handles data deserialization thanks to updated JavaScript field definitions, improving efficiency and reducing complexity. This change is a minor improvement.

The update method on Call was used to deserialize data from the server. Provided that fields are correctly defined on the JavaScript side, the framework is now smart enough to deserialize them automatically.

This commit correctly defines the JS model fields and removes the useless update method.
