mavttsd: a pronunciation dictionary, so she says the names right (V-458)

piper reads a Russian sentence with a Russian voice, and a Latin service id
inside it comes out spelled, mangled or read as if it were a Russian word:
"Vikunja", "SearXNG", "homesrv". The lever available is the text, so the
dictionary maps a name to how it should be spelled for the voice to say it,
and mavttsd applies it at the last edge before piper — every caller's text
passes through that one point, and nothing upstream has to know how a name
sounds.

Data, not code. deploy/tts-lexicon.json ships 29 names; adding one needs a
restart of mavttsd and no rebuild of the daemon that produced the text. Off
unless -lexicon is set, like every other optional capability, and a path that
is set and unreadable stops startup — saying names wrong in silence is the
failure it exists to remove.

Two details worth keeping: the alternation is sorted longest-first, or "Home
Assistant" reads as "Хоум Assistant"; and the boundaries are written out
rather than left to \b, which is ASCII-only and never fires next to a
Cyrillic letter.
