chatterbox-tts 0.1.6 pins numpy<1.26 and torch==2.6 which are
incompatible with Python 3.12+. Install with --no-deps and list
its sub-dependencies explicitly in requirements.txt.
Also removes HFProgressTracker from chatterbox backend to avoid
'generator didn't stop after throw()' errors from tqdm patching.
