Stream transcript segments to frontend as they are transcribed

Send each segment to the frontend immediately after transcription via
a new pipeline.segment IPC message, then send speaker assignments as a
batch pipeline.speaker_update message after diarization completes. This
lets the UI display segments progressively instead of waiting for the
entire pipeline to finish.

Changes:
- Add partial_segment_message and speaker_update_message IPC factories
- Add on_segment callback parameter to TranscribeService.transcribe()
- Emit partial segments and speaker updates from PipelineService.run()
- Add send_and_receive_with_progress to SidecarManager (Rust)
- Route pipeline.segment/speaker_update events in run_pipeline command
- Listen for streaming events in Svelte frontend (+page.svelte)
- Add tests for new message types, callback signature, and update logic
