feat: add OpenAI gpt-4o-mini-tts support with voice instructions

- Add support for OpenAI's new gpt-4o-mini-tts model with customizable voice instructions
- Add OpenAIInstruction field to audio configuration for natural language voice control
- Update CLI with --openai-instruction flag for runtime voice customization
- Enhanced cache key generation to include voice instructions
- Update default model to gpt-4o-mini-tts with Bulgarian-optimized instructions
- Add support for new voices: ash, ballad, coral, sage, verse
- Improve error handling for models requiring special API access
- Update documentation with examples and model information
- Create .totalrecall.yaml.example with comprehensive configuration options

Note: The gpt-4o-mini-tts model requires special API access and may not be available to all accounts yet.
