Huang Xin 4527aa277a feat(reader): add TTS speak button to dictionary popup (#4876) (#4957) ...

Add a speaker button to the dictionary popup/sheet header that pronounces
the current headword. Tapping it speaks via Edge TTS, falling back to the
platform speech engine (Web Speech on desktop/web, native on the mobile
app) when Edge is unavailable.

To speak as soon as possible, a dedicated wordPronouncer bypasses the
reader's TTSController entirely: it never runs EdgeTTSClient.init() (which
wastes a round trip synthesizing "test"), calls EdgeSpeechTTS directly
(whose static MP3 cache makes repeat words instant), and schedules one
chunk on a dedicated Web Audio context isolated from any active read-aloud
session. The context is warmed synchronously inside the click gesture so
playback is not blocked by autoplay policy after the network await.
