Developer 3d3d7ec3c5 Add cloud-only sidecar variant (~50MB vs 500MB-2GB) ...

Lightweight Deepgram-only sidecar that excludes PyTorch, faster-whisper,
RealtimeSTT, and CUDA. Only includes audio capture + WebSocket streaming
to Deepgram. Requires a Deepgram API key (BYOK or managed mode).

Changes:
- client/models.py: Extracted TranscriptionResult into standalone module
  so deepgram_transcription.py doesn't transitively import torch
- backend/app_controller.py: Made RealtimeTranscriptionEngine and
  DeviceManager imports lazy (only loaded when remote.mode == "local")
- local-transcription-cloud.spec: PyInstaller spec excluding all ML deps
- SidecarSetup.svelte: Added "Cloud Only (Deepgram)" variant option
- build-sidecar-cloud.yml: CI workflow building cloud sidecar for all 3 OS
- sidecar-release.yml: Dispatches cloud build alongside CPU/CUDA builds

Sidecar download options are now:
- Standard (CPU): ~500 MB - local Whisper on any computer
- GPU Accelerated (CUDA): ~2 GB - local Whisper with NVIDIA GPU
- Cloud Only (Deepgram): ~50 MB - requires API key, no local models
