* feat(murf): add Murf.ai TTS support to synthAudio

Add synthMurf() following the rimelabs/cartesia pattern:
- streaming path returns a say:{vendor=murf,...} filePath consumed by the
  FreeSWITCH mod_murf_tts module
- non-streaming path calls POST /v1/speech/stream (api-key header) and returns
  WAV audio for cache rendering

Register murf in the supported-vendor assert list and the synth switch.

* fix(murf): drop Accept: audio/basic header (caused 406 Not Acceptable)

Murf's /v1/speech/stream rejects an unmatched Accept header with 406; the
response container is chosen by the `format` body field instead. Verified a
WAV request now returns 200 (valid RIFF/WAVE).
