fix(offline): remove inference-path HF_HUB_OFFLINE guards

0.4.3 wrapped every inference body (`generate`, `transcribe`,
`create_voice_clone_prompt`) with `force_offline_if_cached(True, …)` to
prevent lazy HF lookups from hanging when the network drops
mid-inference (#462). That trade broke online users: the guard flips
`huggingface_hub.constants.HF_HUB_OFFLINE` globally, so any legitimate
metadata call the library makes during generation (e.g. revision
resolution via `HfApi().model_info`) now raises:

    Cannot reach https://huggingface.co/api/models/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-…:
    offline mode is enabled.

Hit by multiple users on 0.4.3 within hours of release. The offline
blast radius is much larger than the original hang it fixed.

This reverts the inference-path guards. Load-path guards stay — those
worked fine in 0.4.2 and aren't the source of the regression. The
`force_offline_if_cached` helper itself is unchanged; tests still pass.

The #462 hang (network dropping mid-inference) remains unaddressed by
this commit and will need a targeted fix that doesn't flip a global
flag — most likely per-call timeouts or library-specific
`local_files_only` arguments, not a process-wide env mutation.
