feat: Add Opus audio encoding for 46x bandwidth reduction

Replace WAV with Opus encoding for Whisper API uploads:
- Add libopus & libogg via FetchContent (no vcpkg dependency)
- Implement AudioBuffer::saveToOpus() with Ogg container
- Configure Opus encoder for voice (VOIP mode, 32kbps VBR)
- Update WhisperClient to use Opus format (audio/ogg)
- Fix Windows temp file path compatibility

Benefits:
- 46x smaller files (37KB vs 1.7MB for 10s audio)
- Reduced API costs and bandwidth
- Faster uploads for real-time translation
- Whisper API fully supports Opus/Ogg format
