Echo-TTS C++ lands CUDA server mode

Echo-TTS C++ ports the model to a CUDA-backed C++ runtime, using GGML for the diffusion transformer and ONNX Runtime for the DAC autoencoder. It also adds an OpenAI-compatible server mode and portable Windows bundles, though Linux support is still untested.

// ANALYSIS

This is a solid infrastructure-oriented release: not a new TTS model, but a packaging and runtime portability win that makes Echo-TTS more usable locally.

–The biggest value is deployment convenience: CUDA-backed C++ inference plus a portable release lowers the barrier to running a large voice model offline.
–The model footprint is still substantial, but the Q8_0 build at roughly 3.3 GB makes it more approachable for lower-VRAM setups.
–OpenAI-compatible server mode is the right move if the goal is integration into existing apps and agent pipelines.
–The main risk is ecosystem maturity: Windows-first testing means Linux and broader hardware compatibility are still open questions.
