Description

Hi. Recently a fix was made so that it is possible to use background blur / replacement image before joining a meeting session on Android: #504. But now when using those filters before joining a meeting, the video is upside-down.

1. Implement a blur filter
2. Apply it to the video preview, not being in a meeting
3. The blur is applied, but the video is upside down

The same occurs with the background replacement image.

This is actually a follow up on [the comments I already posted in the original issue](https://github.com/aws/amazon-chime-sdk-android/issues/504#issuecomment-1290165174).

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Android 12 and:

- Amazon Chime SDK `0.17.7`
- Amazon Chime SDK Machine learning `0.1.0`
- Amazon Chime SDK Media `0.17.8`
