Jake 8b49d0fe9c feat(A.2 #13): replace SpeechBackend enum with Transcriber trait
New crates/transcription/src/transcriber.rs defines a Transcriber
trait (Send supertrait for spawn_blocking travel) with
TranscriberCapabilities (sample_rate, channels, supports_initial_prompt).
TranscriberCapabilities.sample_rate is load-bearing for the upcoming
progressive WAV writer (#19).

Concrete impls:
- SpeechModelAdapter wraps Box<dyn transcribe_rs::SpeechModel + Send>
  for Parakeet (and any future transcribe-rs-backed engine).
- WhisperRsBackend moves its transcribe_sync body into the impl,
  widening the signature from &self to &mut self so per-call
  WhisperState can be created cleanly through the trait object.

LocalEngine now holds Box<dyn Transcriber + Send>; dispatch in
transcribe_sync collapses from a match to a direct call. Adds
LocalEngine::capabilities() for the WAV-writer.

Cargo feature flag "whisper" (default on) makes whisper-rs, num_cpus,
and the whole whisper_rs_backend module optional. cargo check
--no-default-features -p kon-transcription now builds without pulling
whisper-rs-sys — the escape hatch brief item #6 / #13 called for on
Windows / non-AVX2 / cloud-only builds. load_whisper is cfg-gated
behind the same feature.

src-tauri/src/commands/models.rs load_model_from_disk returns
Box<dyn Transcriber + Send> instead of SpeechBackend; caller chain
(ensure_model_loaded, prewarm_default_model) is unchanged.

transcriber_trait_is_object_safe test lands alongside the trait as a
compile-time witness against future Self-returning / generic-method
additions.

//! Engine-abstraction trait for speech-to-text backends.
//!
//! Replaces the previous `SpeechBackend` enum so new backends
//! (Moonshine, whisper-rs forks, cloud ASR shims, Windows non-AVX2
//! fallbacks) can drop in without adding a match arm in `LocalEngine`.
//!
//! Concrete implementers today: `SpeechModelAdapter` (wraps any
//! `transcribe-rs` model, currently used for Parakeet) and — behind the
//! `whisper` feature — `WhisperRsBackend` (direct whisper-rs, the only
//! path that pipes `initial_prompt`).
