feat: Add unmute.sh streaming text processing methodology

- Implement streaming TTS synthesis with text chunk buffering
- Add flush trick for optimal quality when is_final=true
- Support both legacy single-shot and new streaming message types
- New message types: tts_streaming_synthesize, tts_streaming_response
- Progress updates during buffering with tts_streaming_progress
- Streaming capability discovery via tts_get_streaming_info
- Follows unmute.sh methodology for real-time voice applications
