Fix TTS dataset script error with simplified approach

🐛 Issue: Dataset scripts no longer supported for cmu-arctic-xvectors.py
❌ Error: 'Dataset scripts are no longer supported, but found cmu-arctic-xvectors.py'

🔧 Fixes:
- Create simplified TTS client using Facebook VITS or SpeechT5 fallback
- Remove dependency on deprecated dataset script loading
- Use generated speaker embeddings instead of dataset embeddings
- Add fallback mechanism for more reliable TTS loading
- Update app.py to use SimpleTTSClient instead of HuggingFaceTTSClient

✅ Benefits:
- No more dataset script errors
- More reliable TTS model loading
- Same voice variety through deterministic embeddings
- Faster initialization without dataset downloads

📁 Files:
- Add simple_tts_client.py (main TTS implementation)
- Update hf_tts_client.py (fixed version for reference)
- Update app.py to use new TTS client
- Update requirements.txt with additional dependencies
