Subject: [PATCH] fix(gallery): make opus a meta backend so the platform
 variant is auto-selected (#9813)

The realtime/WebRTC path loads the "opus" codec backend by name, but on
macOS arm64 only "metal-opus" is installable, so Load("opus") failed with
"opus backend not available".

The root cause: unlike llama-cpp and whisper, the opus entry was a concrete
CPU backend (it carried a uri and no capabilities map) rather than a meta
backend, so nothing mapped "opus" to the platform-appropriate variant.

Restructure opus to mirror llama-cpp/whisper: "opus" becomes a meta backend
with a capabilities map (default -> cpu-opus, metal -> metal-opus) and no
uri; the CPU image moves to a new "cpu-opus" concrete (and its dev variant
to "cpu-opus-development"). Installing "opus" now resolves to metal-opus on
Apple Silicon and cpu-opus elsewhere, and Load("opus") works on every
platform via the meta pointer - so the realtime endpoint needs no special
casing. This reverts the realtime_webrtc.go resolution helper from the
earlier approach in favor of the gallery-level fix.
