piper-tts: drop in favor of python3-kokoro-onnx
Kokoro-82M replaced piper as the TTS engine: piper's voices were rejected by ear, Kokoro was clearly better in both Italian and English. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

-piper-tts is a fast and local neural text-to-speech engine that embeds
-espeak-ng for phonemization. It runs entirely on-device with no network
-access. Voices are ONNX models.
-
-This package installs the prebuilt manylinux x86_64 wheel from upstream
-releases. The console script is renamed from 'piper' to 'piper-tts' to
-avoid clashing with the SBo 'piper' (libratbag mouse tool).
-
-Runtime dependencies (packaged separately):
- python3-onnxruntime
- python3-pathvalidate
