what should happen if the user changed the group name to something else before removing a user?

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Group chat - After removing user, group name is not updated

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not removing pending delete participants when we construct a default (when there is no custom group name) group name here

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/98dc643e14378f654e45a7ce96f35be9f407c007/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L2163

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should filter out participants with pending delete from report.participants

    let participantAccountIDs =
        participants?.map((participant) => participant.accountID) ??
        Object.keys(report?.participants ?? {})
            .map(Number)
            .filter((accountID) => {
                const pendingMember = report?.pendingChatMembers?.find((member) => member.accountID === accountID.toString());
                return !(pendingMember && pendingMember.pendingAction === CONST.RED_BRICK_ROAD_PENDING_ACTION.DELETE);
            });

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
