[FIX] mail: no traceback on click channel mention from chat window

Before this commit, when clicking on a channel mention from a chat
window, it crashed with the following error:

`TypeError: channel.detach is not a function`

This happens due to `MailService.joinChannel()` returning a promise
that is resolved with channel ID, instead of a channel object.
`channel.detach()` becomes `<Number>.detach()`, which is treated
like `undefined()`, hence crash.

closes odoo/odoo#44329
