Medium model is faster and uses less memory (~1.5GB vs ~3GB)
while still providing good multilingual transcription quality.

Implements word-level speech analysis using faster-whisper to refine
AD pause points. Gemini's timestamps are snapped to natural speech gaps
(sentence/phrase boundaries) to prevent pauses mid-word.
Key changes:
- Add WhisperService for transcription and gap detection
- Add dedicated Celery task routed to 'whisper' queue
- Integrate refinement into render_accessible_video task
- Cache Whisper transcripts in MongoDB for reuse across languages
- Add dedicated whisper-worker with concurrency=1 to prevent OOM
Configuration:
- Uses faster-whisper 'base' model (multilingual, ~145MB)
- 5-second search window after Gemini's recommended point
- Falls back to original timestamp if no gap found
Infrastructure:
- New Docker stage: whisper-worker
- New Cloud Run service: accessible-video-whisper-worker
- Updated docker-compose.yml with whisper-worker service
