feat(audio): choose a male or female local voice per language

Browse Source 
The installer now fetches one male and one female Piper voice per language (Swedish
NST/Lisa, English Ryan/Lessac), with genders confirmed by measuring each voice's pitch
rather than guessed from the name. Settings -> Audio gets a voice selector per language
with its own Test button that always plays the Piper voice. Male is preselected for both.

The integration test now runs its server with an empty home directory, so voices
installed on the developer's own machine can't leak into it.

or click **Install** under Settings -> Audio -> Voice engine. This downloads the standalone Piper release for your OS (Linux, Windows, macOS - no Python needed) plus the `sv_SE-nst-medium` and `en_US-lessac-medium` voices into `piper/` (about 180 MB). Internet is only needed while it installs. Then choose **Local voice** and click **Pre-generate phrases and driver names** before race day. If Piper is missing or slow, the browser voice takes over automatically. Optional overrides: `RC_PIPER_BIN` (path to a piper executable) and `RC_PIPER_VOICES_DIR` (extra voice folder).
