Enable CUDA for Windows/Linux builds + clean up old sidecars

- Windows and Linux sidecar builds now use --with-cuda for GPU acceleration
  (macOS stays CPU-only — Apple Silicon uses Metal, not CUDA)
- Windows upload switched from --data-binary to -T streaming for 2GB+ files
- Add cleanup_old_sidecars() that removes stale sidecar-* directories on
  startup, keeping only the current version
- Add NSIS uninstall hook to remove sidecar data dir on Windows uninstall
  (user data in ~/.voicetonotes is preserved)
