feat(whisper): add Distil-Whisper Small and Large v3 as first-class models

Two new registry entries (crates/core/src/model_registry.rs):
- whisper-distil-small-en — 336 MB, ~6× faster than whisper-small-en
- whisper-distil-large-v3 — 1.55 GB, near large-v3 accuracy at medium size

Both are whisper.cpp-compatible GGML binaries hosted on HF by the
distil-whisper org; no runtime change, just wider model choice. English-only
by design (matches upstream Distil-Whisper).

The Settings model picker widens to six options — Tiny, Base, Small,
Distil-S, Medium, Distil-L — ordered roughly by accuracy. Download/load
commands now take the resolved model id (whisper-distil-*) instead of the
lowercased label, so the frontend owns the label↔id mapping.
