leubeem b80feb80d6 feat(stt): seed Whisper prompt with expected readback + per-field debug UI
Whisper prompt seeding (per request):
- ptt.post.ts builds the prompt as generic ICAO bias + this state's expected
  readback appended LAST (survives the 224-token truncation), in both raw token
  form and spoken ICAO form via new radioSpeech.speakToken().
- pm.vue passes the expected phrase + active variable values; classroom.vue
  passes the lesson's expected field values.

Per-field readback debug:
- sttMatch.matchTranscriptionToFields returns fields[] (matched/missing + which
  view matched) plus normalized/denormalized transcription views.
- useRadioBackend types readback_report on the transmit response.
- pm.vue renders a "Readback check" panel in the right log rail; classroom.vue
  renders per-field rows under the STT panel.

Radio-pronunciation fixes (radioSpeech.ts):
- callsign expander handles multi-letter suffixes (DLH6RK -> Lufthansa six Romeo
  Kilo).
- toRadioSpeech now expands airports (EDDC -> Echo Delta Delta Charlie).
- bare altitudes >=1000 in a clearance context are spoken ("climb initially
  5000" -> "climb initially five thousand feet"); speeds/headings untouched.
