feat(api): add OpenAI-compatible ASR transcription endpoint

- Implement POST /audio/transcriptions and /v1/audio/transcriptions
  endpoints for automatic speech recognition
- Add support for multipart/form-data audio file uploads
- Support multiple audio formats (wav, mp3, m4a, etc.)
- Implement language detection with 29 supported languages
- Return transcription text in OpenAI-compatible JSON format
- Add proper error handling and validation
- Include comprehensive tests for ASR functionality

refactor(api): restructure API modules and export MODEL

- Move API declarations to src/api/mod.rs
- Add ASR module and type definitions
- Export MODEL static for use in ASR module
- Mount ASR routes at both /audio and /v1/audio endpoints
