feat: store supported voices in TTSBackendMetadata

Add voices field to TTSBackendMetadata so each backend's supported
voice list is part of its metadata rather than external constants.

- Add voices: tuple[str, ...] = () to TTSBackendMetadata
- Create _KOKORO_METADATA / _SUPERTONIC_METADATA as single source
  of truth for both metadata property and registry registration
- Update KokoroBackend.get_available_voices() to use self.metadata.voices
- Update SupertonicBackend.get_available_voices() to use self.metadata.voices
- Add tests for voices field, metadata voice content, and unified instance identity
