Mark Backman b59c4775da Split user-turn stop timeout into independent speech and STT timers
SpeechTimeoutUserTurnStopStrategy previously collapsed two waits into
max(stt_timeout, user_speech_timeout), which over-waited for finalizing
STT services and could also end the turn early in a legacy code path.
Run them as independent timers instead:

- user_speech_timeout: policy floor, always runs to completion.
- stt_timeout: latency safety net, short-circuited by a finalized
  transcript since STT has signaled it has nothing more to send.

The no-VAD fallback now waits only user_speech_timeout rather than
max(stt_timeout, user_speech_timeout); stt_timeout is defined relative
to VAD stop and has no meaning when no VAD event occurred. This
shortens the fallback wait for users who set stt_timeout greater than
user_speech_timeout.
