Exclude piper speaker from macOS builds#699

On macOS, piper is never used — the runtime selects macOS Speech Synthesis instead. Adding //go:build !darwin to piper.go prevents the piper binary and embedded voice assets from being linked into the macOS binary, reducing it from 159 MB to 29 MB (82% smaller). A minimal stub in piper_darwin.go satisfies the compiler without importing any piper dependencies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
