refactor: migrate core modules to use TTSBackendMetadata.voices via registry

Replace direct imports of VOICES_INTERNAL and DEFAULT_SUPERTONIC_VOICES
in voice_profiles, voice_formulas, and voice_cache with get_metadata()
from TTSBackendRegistry. Adds get_metadata() top-level function to
tts_backend_registry as symmetric counterpart to register_backend() and
create_backend().
