feat: voice message distress analysis — paralinguistic features

Closes #131 (Epic #102 — Multimodal Crisis Detection)

Analyzes audio messages (OGG/MP3/WAV) for distress signals using
paralinguistic features — no neural model needed, pure DSP.

Signals detected:
- Speech rate: very slow (<80 wpm) or very fast (>200 wpm)
- Pitch variability: monotone voice (low F0 std = depression indicator)
- Silence ratio: long pauses (>35% silence)
- Volume: very quiet (<-30 dB)

Implementation:
- voice_analysis.py: Core module with analyze_voice_message()
- Whisper integration for transcription + word timestamps
- librosa for audio feature extraction (pitch, volume, silence)
- Composite distress score (0-1) from max of individual signals
- Thresholds: low (<0.3), medium (0.3-0.7), high (>0.7)
