refactor: move VOICES_INTERNAL into KokoroBackend module

Make the Kokoro voice list an internal implementation detail of the
backend instead of a shared constant. The rest of the project already
accesses voices via get_metadata('kokoro').voices.

- Move VOICES_INTERNAL from constants.py to kokoro.py as _VOICES_INTERNAL
- Update tests to use get_metadata('kokoro').voices instead of importing
  the constant directly
