Ettore Di Giacinto 71c6564b46 backend(audio-cpp): refuse the unsupported RPCs with a reason
AudioEncode, AudioDecode, AudioTransformStream, AudioToAudioStream and
VoiceEmbed have no counterpart in audio.cpp's VoiceTaskKind. Each now returns
UNIMPLEMENTED naming the loaded family, what that family does support, and the
upstream limitation, instead of the generated base class's bare status. The
reasons live in a table in capability_routing.cpp so they are data rather than
literals copied into five handlers, and so a test can assert every one of them.

The five claims this was planned against were re-read at the pinned upstream
e800d435d130dc776baf6f3e6129bb62b1495c89, and one did not hold. "audio.cpp
streams tts and asr only" is false: silero_vad advertises vad with
RunMode::Streaming. The refusal stands on the narrower claim that survives, that
no family advertises streaming for any task AudioTransform routes to, and a test
asserts the refuted wording does not come back.

VoiceEmbed is the one refusal whose request carries a ModelIdentity, so it runs
the #10952 check before answering: a stale route must get NOT_FOUND and the
router's sentinel, not "audio.cpp cannot embed speakers" about a model that is
not loaded here. It cannot use snapshot_for, whose no-model branch would tell
the caller to load a model when no model can help, so it takes the reference
through snapshot_unchecked and checks identity itself. That function's comment
now names three classes of caller instead of two.

The two bidirectional surfaces refuse without reading their stream, verified
with a client that writes a config and eight frames first and gets the status
rather than hanging.

// audio.cpp e800d435d130dc776baf6f3e6129bb62b1495c89, and one of the four
// claims this backend was planned against did not survive that check: see
// kTransformStreamReason.
//
// A latent upstream inconsistency worth knowing about but deliberately NOT put
// on the wire, because it would mislead: model_spec/schema.cpp's task-string
// whitelist does accept "codec" (and "dialogue"), while
// model_spec/metadata.cpp's parse_task_kind has no branch for either and
// throws "unknown model spec task". So a spec declaring "codec" validates and
// then fails to load. That is a hole in upstream's own validation, not a codec
// task this backend could reach.
