feat: macOS VoiceProcessingIO for hardware AEC + delay-compensated NLMS

- Add --os-aec flag: uses Apple VoiceProcessingIO audio unit for
  hardware echo cancellation (same engine as FaceTime)
- New vpio feature + audio_vpio.rs: combined capture+playback via VPIO
- Improved software AEC: delay-compensated leaky NLMS with Geigel DTD
  (60ms tail, 40ms delay, configurable via --aec-delay)
- Add --aec-delay flag for tuning software AEC delay compensation
- Add dev-fast Cargo profile (opt-level 2 with incremental compilation)

+//! macOS Voice Processing I/O — uses Apple's VoiceProcessingIO audio unit
+//! for hardware-accelerated echo cancellation, AGC, and noise suppression.
+//!
+//! VoiceProcessingIO is a combined input+output unit that knows what's going
+//! to the speaker, so it can cancel the echo from the mic signal internally.
+//! This is the same engine FaceTime and other Apple apps use.
