James Pine 2e95b7c5d8 fix: force offline mode when loading cached models (Qwen TTS & Whisper)
Qwen TTS and Whisper Base make network calls to HuggingFace even when
model weights are fully cached locally, because from_pretrained()
defaults to local_files_only=False. This causes failures for offline
users.

Add a reusable force_offline_if_cached() context manager that sets
HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 during model loading when is_model_cached() is True.
Applied to all four affected load paths:

- PyTorchTTSBackend (Qwen TTS)
- PyTorchSTTBackend (Whisper)
- MLXTTSBackend (refactored from inline implementation)
- MLXSTTBackend (previously unprotected)

Closes #82
