Fix Japanese TDT models and consolidate to unified AsrModels API (#521)

## Summary
- Fixes TDT Japanese model downloads by returning union of both CTC and
TDT required models
- Enables Japanese TDT models to work with `AsrModels`/`AsrManager` for
timing information
- **Removes all redundant Japanese-specific managers** (TdtJaManager,
CtcJaManager) - consolidates to unified AsrModels path

## Problems Fixed

### Problem 1: Model Download (Issue #517)
The `parakeet-ctc-0.6b-ja-coreml` repository contains both CTC models
(`CtcDecoder.mlmodelc`) and TDT models (`Decoderv2.mlmodelc`,
`Jointerv2.mlmodelc`). When `TdtJaModels` attempts to download from
`Repo.parakeetJa`, the `getRequiredModelNames()` function was only
returning `CTCJa.requiredModels`, which doesn't include the TDT-specific
models.

This caused TDT Japanese models to fail downloading with "Model file not
found" errors.

### Problem 2: AsrModels File Name Mismatch
`AsrModels` used hardcoded file names from `ModelNames.ASR` (expecting
`Decoder.mlmodelc` and `JointDecision.mlmodelc`), which didn't match
Japanese TDT model files (`Decoderv2.mlmodelc`, `Jointerv2.mlmodelc`).

This prevented users from loading `.tdtJa` with `AsrModels`/`AsrManager`
to get timing information.

### Problem 3: Code Duplication
Japanese models had 4 specialized managers (TdtJaManager, CtcJaManager,
TdtJaModels, CtcJaModels) that duplicated functionality and didn't match
the pattern used by other TDT variants (v2, v3, tdtCtc110m all use
AsrModels directly).

## Solution

### Fix 1: Model Downloads (ModelNames.swift)
Updated `ModelNames.swift` line 675-677 to return the union of both
model sets:

```swift
case .parakeetJa:
    // Repo contains BOTH CTC and TDT models - return union of both sets
    return ModelNames.CTCJa.requiredModels.union(ModelNames.TDTJa.requiredModels)
```

This ensures all 5 models are downloaded:
- Preprocessor.mlmodelc (shared)
- Encoder.mlmodelc (shared)
- CtcDecoder.mlmodelc (CTC only)
- Decoderv2.mlmodelc (TDT only)
- Jointerv2.mlmodelc (TDT only)

### Fix 2: Version-Specific Model File Names (AsrModels.swift)
- Added `getModelFileNames()` to return version-specific decoder, joint,
and vocabulary file names
- Added `getRequiredModels()` to return version-specific model sets
- Updated `load()`, `loadVocabulary()`, and `modelsExist()` to use
version-specific names

### Fix 3: Remove Redundant Code
**Deleted:**
- `TdtJaManager.swift` - broken, redundant
- `TdtJaModels.swift` - redundant
- `CtcJaManager.swift` - redundant (TDT is superior)
- `CtcJaModels.swift` - redundant
- `AsrModelVersion.ctcJa` enum case - no longer needed
- All related tests (replaced by `AsrModelsTdtJaTests`)

**Updated:**
- JapaneseAsrBenchmark → uses `AsrModels` + `AsrManager`
- Removed `.ctcJa` from version labels and validation

## Result

Clean, unified API for Japanese TDT models that matches other TDT
variants:

```swift
// Load Japanese TDT models
let models = try await AsrModels.load(version: .tdtJa)
let manager = AsrManager(models: models)

// Transcribe with timing info
var state = try TdtDecoderState(decoderLayers: 2)
let result = try await manager.transcribe(url, decoderState: &state)

// Access text and timing information
print(result.text)
print(result.timings)  // ✅ Timing info available!
```

## Benefits
1. **Timing information** - Users get token timings via `AsrManager`
(not available in `TdtJaManager`)
2. **Consistency** - Japanese TDT follows same pattern as
v2/v3/tdtCtc110m
3. **Less code** - Removed ~1000 lines of redundant manager code
4. **Single source of truth** - One way to load Japanese TDT models

## Testing
- ✅ `CtcJaTests.testCtcJaTranscription` - Full CTC Japanese pipeline
test
- ✅ `TdtJaTests.testTdtJaTranscription` - Full TDT Japanese pipeline
test
- ✅ `AsrModelsTdtJaTests.testTdtJaWithAsrModels` - TDT Japanese loads
via AsrModels
- ✅ `AsrModelsTdtJaTests.testTdtJaWithAsrManager` - TDT Japanese works
with AsrManager
- ✅ Build verified with `swift build`
