Paul Kompfner cb9fe04e0b Wire Inworld manual-mode turn detection + add local-VAD example ...

Inworld Realtime's session properties accept turn_detection=None to put
the service into manual mode (matching OpenAI Realtime's
turn_detection=False), but the Pipecat integration hardcoded
_handle_user_stopped_speaking and _handle_interruption to assume
server-side VAD: both were no-ops on the client side because Inworld's
server normally handles commit/cancel/response.create automatically. In
manual mode the server doesn't, so local-VAD-driven turns stalled —
the bot never responded after the user stopped speaking, and
interruptions left the in-flight response running.

Mirror the OpenAI Realtime pattern: on user-stopped-speaking in manual
mode, send InputAudioBufferCommitEvent + ResponseCreateEvent; on
interruption in manual mode, send InputAudioBufferClearEvent +
ResponseCancelEvent. Gate both on a new _is_manual_turn_detection()
helper.

Add examples/realtime/realtime-inworld-local-vad.py, the matching
*-local-vad.py variant for parity with the OpenAI Realtime and Grok
Realtime variants, and point the Inworld service docstring at it.
