feat(audio): Implement ring buffer for live playback timing

Implemented ring buffer architecture to fix timing glitches in live audio
playback caused by misalignment between music_time (variable tempo) and
playback_time (fixed 32kHz rate).

Problem:
- Main thread triggers audio events based on music_time (variable tempo)
- Audio thread renders at fixed 32kHz sample rate
- No synchronization between the two → timing glitches during tempo changes

Solution:
Added AudioRingBuffer that bridges main thread and audio thread:
- Main thread fills buffer ahead of playback (200ms look-ahead)
- Audio thread reads from buffer at constant rate
- Decouples music_time from playback_time

Implementation:

1. Ring Buffer (src/audio/ring_buffer.{h,cc}):
   - Lock-free circular buffer using atomic operations
   - Capacity: 200ms @ 32kHz stereo = 12800 samples (25 DCT frames)
   - Thread-safe read/write with no locks
   - Tracks total samples read for playback time calculation

2. Audio System (src/audio/audio.{h,cc}):
   - audio_render_ahead(music_time, dt): Fills ring buffer from main thread
   - audio_get_playback_time(): Returns current playback position
   - Maintains target look-ahead (refills when buffer half empty)

3. MiniaudioBackend (src/audio/miniaudio_backend.cc):
   - Audio callback now reads from ring buffer instead of synth_render()
   - No direct synth interaction in audio thread

4. WavDumpBackend (src/audio/wav_dump_backend.cc):
   - Updated to use ring buffer (as requested)
   - Calls audio_render_ahead() then reads from buffer
   - Same path as live playback for consistency

5. Main Loop (src/main.cc):
   - Calls audio_render_ahead(music_time, dt) every frame
   - Fills buffer with upcoming audio based on current tempo

Key Features:
- ✅ Variable tempo support (tempo changes absorbed by buffer)
- ✅ Look-ahead rendering (200ms buffer maintains smooth playback)
- ✅ Thread-safe (lock-free atomic operations)
- ✅ Seeking support (can fill buffer from any music_time)
- ✅ Unified path (both live and WAV dump use same ring buffer)

Testing:
- All 17 tests pass (100%)
- WAV dump produces identical output (61.24s music time in 60s physical)
- Format verified: stereo, 32kHz, 16-bit PCM

Technical Details:
- Ring buffer size: #define RING_BUFFER_LOOKAHEAD_MS 200
- Sample rate: 32000 Hz
- Channels: 2 (stereo)
- Capacity: 12800 samples = 25 * DCT_SIZE (512)
- Refill trigger: When buffer < 50% full (100ms)

Result: Live playback timing glitches should be fixed. Main thread and audio
thread now properly synchronized through ring buffer.
