Add server-side Piper read-aloud with voice picker
Reader read-aloud now streams neural WAV audio from a new POST /api/tts endpoint that shells out to Piper, instead of the browser's Web Speech voice. Each paragraph is synthesized on demand with the next one prefetched during playback, keeping the existing highlight/scroll sync. Voices are configured under [web.tts] (piper binary + voices_dir + a labelled voice list) and exposed to the client as window.PETE_TTS; the reader gets a Voice selector in the Aa menu, persisted per-device. Still a signed-in-only perk and gated on auth.
