Paul Kompfner ef46156c1b Rename *-local-vad.py example variants to *-locally-driven-turns.py
The "-local-vad" suffix was ambiguous now that local VAD has two
meanings in the realtime context: supplementary user-turn frames
broadcast alongside server-driven turns (commented-out opt-in in the
base examples), vs. local turn detection driving the conversation
end-to-end (server-side turn detection disabled, what these variant
files actually demonstrate). The new "-locally-driven-turns" suffix
matches the latter intent unambiguously.

Renames:

  realtime-openai-local-vad.py       → realtime-openai-locally-driven-turns.py
  realtime-gemini-live-local-vad.py  → realtime-gemini-live-locally-driven-turns.py
  realtime-grok-local-vad.py         → realtime-grok-locally-driven-turns.py
  realtime-inworld-local-vad.py      → realtime-inworld-locally-driven-turns.py

Plus the matching changelog fragments. Service docstrings and base
examples that referenced the old filenames now point at the new ones.

"""OpenAI Realtime with locally-driven turn detection.
By default OpenAI Realtime drives the conversation with its own server-side
VAD (see `realtime-openai.py`). This variant disables server-side turn
detection (``turn_detection=False``) and instead drives turn boundaries
locally with ``SileroVADAnalyzer`` wired into the user aggregator. This is
the path to take if you want a turn analyzer like ``LocalSmartTurnV3`` to
decide when the user is done speaking, or if you need ``UserStartedSpeakingFrame``
/ ``UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`` to fire from the same source as
``InterruptionFrame``.
Caveat: locally-generated turn boundaries are a heuristic and may not match
the provider's actual server-side turn decisions. With OpenAI Realtime,
server-side turn detection is generally what the service expects to drive
the conversation, and disabling it puts the responsibility on you. Prefer
server-emitted turn frames (i.e. the base `realtime-openai.py` example)
unless you have a specific reason to drive turn detection locally.
