chore(whisperx): drop ROCm/hipblas build target (#9474)

whisperx has no upstream AMD GPU support and its core transcription path
(faster-whisper -> ctranslate2) falls back to CPU on AMD since the PyPI
ctranslate2 is CUDA-only. The torch rocm wheels would accelerate only the
alignment/diarization stages, producing a misleadingly half-working image.

Drop the hipblas variant rather than shipping a partially accelerated build
users can't distinguish from the real thing. AMD hosts now fall through
the capability map to cpu-whisperx / cpu-whisperx-development.

Also removes the now-dangling rocm-whisperx assertion from
pkg/system/capabilities_test.go and the ROCm mention from the whisperx
row in docs/content/reference/compatibility-table.md.

# whisperx hard-pins torch~=2.8.0, which is not available in the rocm7.x indexes
# (they start at torch 2.10). Keep rocm6.4 wheels here — they still load against
# the rocm7.2.1 runtime via AMD's forward-compatibility window.
