Add speech transcription tools: speech_list_locales, speech_transcribe_file, speech_quick_test

Implements Apple SpeechAnalyzer + SpeechTranscriber (macOS 26+) live transcription
per official docs, with Inscribe bugfix (finalizeAndFinishThroughEndOfInput)

- speech_list_locales: isAvailable, supported/installed locales, reserved counts
- speech_transcribe_file: transcribe any AVFoundation-readable file, returns
  transcript + segments + elapsed + realtimeFactor + engine metadata
- speech_quick_test: say + transcribe loopback to verify pipeline

Swift binary compiled on-demand via swiftc -O with Speech + AVFoundation
Follows docs: AssetInventory downloadAndInstall, AssetInputSequenceProvider
Mac mini is 26.5.2 Mac16,10 M4 so engine verified available
