fix(setup): install mlx-lm and mlx-audio in setup-python on Apple Silicon (#892)

* fix(setup): install mlx-lm and mlx-audio in setup-python on Apple Silicon

The dev setup installed requirements-mlx.txt but not mlx-audio/mlx-lm
themselves, so POST /transcribe failed on a fresh Apple Silicon setup
with "No module named 'mlx_audio'" (then "No module named 'mlx_lm'").
The release workflow already installs both with --no-deps (they declare
transformers>=5.x, conflicting with our <=4.57.x cap); mirror that in
the setup-python recipe with the same pins.

* test: add MLX smoke test for the --no-deps mlx-audio/mlx-lm install

mlx-audio and mlx-lm are installed --no-deps, so a missing transitive
dependency only surfaces at import time. Add a pytest-discoverable
smoke test (skipped off Apple Silicon) covering the exact entry points
the backend uses: mlx_audio.tts.load, mlx_audio.stt.load (which also
exercises the miniaudio dep from issue #505), mlx_lm.load/generate,
and a basic mlx.core op.
