Switch AudioButton to Piper TTS (Thorsten/Lessac voices)

AudioButton now tries Piper TTS via /api/vocabulary/tts endpoint
first, falls back to Browser Web Speech API if unavailable.

Backend: New GET /api/vocabulary/tts?text=...&lang=de endpoint.
audio_service.py: Fixed presigned URL flow for MinIO download.

This gives the same high-quality voice as the Investor Agent
in the pitch deck (Thorsten DE / Lessac EN, MIT license).
