feat: TTS speed support — configurable speech rate across providers (#321)

Cherry-picked from gary-the-ai/hermes-web-console-gui.

- speed parameter on text_to_speech tool (0.25-4.0, optional)
- Edge TTS: multiplier to SSML rate string
- OpenAI TTS: native speed parameter
- MiniMax: _speed_override from tool param
- Auto-clamped to valid range
- 6 tests pass
