Reorganize examples into topic-based subfolders

Move 304 examples from a flat numbered directory into 14 descriptive
subfolders: getting-started, services (speech + function-calling),
transcription, vision, realtime, persistent-context,
context-summarization, update-settings (stt/tts/llm), turn-management,
thinking-and-mcp, transports, video-avatar, video-processing, and
features.

Strip numbered prefixes from filenames (e.g. 07c-interruptible-deepgram.py
becomes services/speech/deepgram.py) since the folder context makes them
redundant. Keep numbered prefixes only in getting-started/ where ordering
matters.

Update eval script paths and README to match the new structure.

+Demonstrates LLM-based turn completion detection to suppress bot responses when

+- ✓ (complete): User finished their thought, respond normally
+- ○ (incomplete short): User was cut off, wait ~5s then prompt
+- ◐ (incomplete long): User needs time to think, wait ~15s then prompt

+When incomplete is detected, the bot's response is suppressed. After the timeout
