* fix(whispercpp): map GPU picker to ggml devices and size threads by effective backend

The GPU picker and auto selection used vulkaninfo indices, but whisper.cpp's
gpu_device is an ordinal over the GPU/IGPU devices ggml registered. ggml skips
Vulkan devices it cannot use (for example a Haswell iGPU), so the indices shift
and a selected NVIDIA card could fall back to CPU while logs claimed Vulkan.

Read ggml's device registry through the loaded pywhispercpp extension, select
and label devices by that ordinal, run on CPU explicitly when ggml has no GPU,
log the effective backend after load, and pick n_threads from the effective
backend instead of the presence of GPU libraries.

Fixes #987
Fixes #990

* test(whispercpp): move new ggml probe tests into their test class
