Add subtitle dictionaries, Polish number normalizer, ComfyUI lifecycle control

Text processing before TTS:

- dictionary.txt rewrites words and phrases (km/h, np., units). Rules compile
  into one alternation applied in a single pass, so replacements never chain
  and longest-literal wins. Case-sensitive, whole-word.
- A per-queue second dictionary, written by the GUI into the first video's job
  folder and merged with the shared one (--dictionary-extra).
- ALL-CAPS blocks become Title Case rather than sentence case: lowercasing
  destroyed proper nouns inside captions ("NASA - MARGO MADISON") and invited
  the normalizer to "correct" the name. Paired clips in output/clips/all-caps
  showed the TTS reads both casings the same.

normalizer/ — digits to spoken Polish, in its own venv because it needs
transformers>=5, which must not touch ComfyUI's pinned versions:

- Two backends. Plain integers go to num2words for the value and a general
  Polish LLM for the case; times, dates, decimals and identifiers go to a 0.6B
  fine-tune. Measured on 40 real subtitle lines, each is clearly better than
  the other on its half. 74% of numbered blocks take the first leg.
- Guards on every answer: runaway length, repetition loops, invalid bytes,
  leftover digits, a lost minus sign, a changed number, a lost word. A failure
  falls back to num2words, which is nominative but never wrong about the value.
- ComfyUI is asked to unload before normalizing; a normalizer that does not fit
  in VRAM is spilled to RAM silently at 5x the cost.

Backend lifecycle:

- ComfyUI is found by port through /proc, so a backend started by hand is
  managed too. SIGTERM escalates to SIGKILL, and a suspended process is killed
  outright since it never runs its handlers.
- A clip that kills the backend is retried three times, each with a different
  seed (the aborts are seed-dependent, not text-dependent), then skipped and
  reported so an overnight queue keeps moving.
- start_comfyui.sh execs python, so the script's PID is ComfyUI's.
- GUI gains ComfyUI and Queue dictionary buttons; quitting stops the backend.

--resume-from now reuses the job folder's tts_input.srt instead of reparsing
the subtitles, so block N still pairs with clip_NNNN.flac.

The number normalizer's model is **gated** in the same way and needs an
