Extend German inquit attribution: missing verbs, subject choice, mistyped inquits (v1.20.24)

Driven by unresolved lines in a real German novel:

- AB_SPEECH_VERBS was missing many common inquit verbs (grunzte, versetzte,
  unterbrach, drängte, herrschte, keuchte, erklärte, widersprach, warf ein …)
  and had no thought verbs at all, so inner monologue ("dachte Lysandra") was
  never attributed.
- A trailing inquit naming two people ("unterbrach die blonde Perdia Lysandra")
  resolved to the wrong one; the grammatical subject speaks, so articles and
  adjectives are skipped and the first name after the verb wins.
- A quote whose own inquit had been mistyped as dialogue could never resolve,
  because the rule required the following segment to be narration. A segment
  opening with a lower-case speech verb is an inquit whatever its type; it is
  now accepted and its type corrected.

Verified on the book: resolves further lines with no LLM call.

 - **Emotion instructions are now always written in English**, even for non-English voices (the spoken text and the native-accent clause stay in the book's own language). Confirmed by controlled A/B testing — same line, same voice, only the instruct language varying — that Qwen3-TTS follows English emotion instructions far more reliably: German instructs produced barely-differentiated output, while English instructs yield a clean, correctly-ordered prosodic gradient (whisper 128 Hz → sad 142 → neutral 179 → scared 203 → happy 225 → angry 269 Hz), with sensible duration changes too (sad slowest, scared fastest).
 - **Fish-Speech generation parameters (`temperature` / `top_p` / `repetition_penalty`) were never forwarded.** Every Fish-Speech line synthesized at the server's fixed defaults, ignoring the app's per-backend stability settings — the only backend not routed through the shared `_apply_tts_extra_params` helper.

+- **Many German inquit verbs were missing from speaker attribution**, so ordinary lines stayed Unknown: `grunzte`, `versetzte`, `unterbrach`, `drängte`, `herrschte`, `keuchte`, `hauchte`, `stöhnte`, `spottete`, `höhnte`, `erklärte`, `widersprach`, `warf ein`, `setzte hinzu` and others. Also adds the thought verbs `dachte` / `überlegte` / `sinnierte`, since German inner monologue is punctuated like speech and belongs to the character thinking it.
+- **Trailing inquits naming two people picked the wrong one.** ", unterbrach die blonde Perdia Lysandra." assigned the line to whoever matched last; the grammatical subject is the speaker, so an optional article and adjectives are now skipped and the first name after the verb wins (→ Perdia, not Lysandra).
+- **A quote stayed Unknown when its own inquit was mistyped as dialogue.** A segment opening with a lower-case speech verb ("grunzte der Ork und hob den Dolch.") is an inquit by construction, whatever type the caster gave it. Those are now recognised regardless of type, and the inquit segment is corrected back to narration.
