speech-core v0.0.10: local STT, TTS, diarization and voice-agent pipelines in C++17

I maintain speech-core. v0.0.10 ships prebuilt Linux packages, so the speech-to-text and TTS tools no longer need to be compiled from the examples.

Install on Debian or Ubuntu:

      VERSION=0.0.10
      ARCH="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"
      curl -fLO "https://github.com/soniqo/speech-core/releases/download/v${VERSION}/speech_${VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb"
      sudo apt install "./speech_${VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb"

Then:

      speech download-models
      speech transcribe recording.wav
      speech speak "Hello world" hello.wav
      speech phonemize "Bonjour le monde" fr

The package bundles the ONNX Runtime/LiteRT libraries but not the model files. Model downloads are explicit and inference runs locally.

Source and packages: https://github.com/soniqo/speech-core

I would particularly appreciate installation reports from Debian 12 and arm64 boards.
