fix: single flat model dropdown, linacodec dep, quiet sidecar script

- Combine engine + model size into one flat dropdown (Qwen3-TTS 1.7B,
  Qwen3-TTS 0.6B, LuxTTS) in both FloatingGenerateBox and GenerationForm
- Add linacodec git dep to requirements.txt (uv-only source, pip can't
  resolve it from Zipvoice's pyproject.toml)
- Remove redundant transitive deps from requirements.txt
- Quiet the sidecar setup script (was printing misleading instructions)
