feat(ASR): MLX Whisper Support for Apple Silicon (#2366)

* add mlx-whisper support

* added mlx-whisper example and test. update docling cli to use MLX automatically if present.

* fix pre-commit checks and added proper type safety

* fixed linter issue

* fix CI example test - mlx_whisper_example.py defaults to tests/data/audio/sample_10s.mp3 if no args specified.

* refactor: centralize audio file extensions and MIME types in base_models.py

- Move audio file extensions from CLI hardcoded set to FormatToExtensions[InputFormat.AUDIO]
- Add support for additional audio formats: m4a, aac, ogg, flac, mp4, avi, mov
- Update FormatToMimeType mapping to include MIME types for all audio formats
- Update CLI auto-detection to use centralized FormatToExtensions mapping
- Add comprehensive tests for audio file auto-detection and pipeline selection
- Ensure explicit pipeline choices are not overridden by auto-detection

Fixes issue where only .mp3 and .wav files were processed as audio despite
CLI auto-detection working for all formats. The document converter now
properly recognizes all audio formats through MIME type detection.

Addresses review comments:
- Centralizes audio extensions in base_models.py as suggested
- Maintains existing auto-detection behavior while using centralized data
- Adds proper test coverage for the audio detection functionality

All examples and tests pass with the new centralized approach.
All audio formats (mp3, wav, m4a, aac, ogg, flac, mp4, avi, mov) now work correctly.

* feat: address reviewer feedback - improve CLI auto-detection and add explicit model options

Review feedback addressed:
1. Fix CLI auto-detection to only switch to ASR pipeline when ALL files are audio
   - Previously switched if ANY file was audio, now requires ALL files to be audio
   - Added warning for mixed file types with guidance to use --pipeline asr

2. Add explicit WHISPER_X_MLX and WHISPER_X_NATIVE model options
   - Users can now force specific implementations if desired
   - Auto-selecting models (WHISPER_BASE, etc.) still choose best for hardware
   - Added 12 new explicit model options: _MLX and _NATIVE variants for each size

CLI now supports:
- Auto-selecting: whisper_tiny, whisper_base, etc. (choose best for hardware)
- Explicit MLX: whisper_tiny_mlx, whisper_base_mlx, etc. (force MLX)
- Explicit Native: whisper_tiny_native, whisper_base_native, etc. (force native)

* test(asr): add coverage for MLX options, pipeline helpers, and VLM prompts

- tests/test_asr_mlx_whisper.py: verify explicit MLX options (framework, repo ids)
- tests/test_asr_pipeline.py: cover _has_text/_determine_status and backend support with proper InputDocument/NoOpBackend wiring
- tests/test_interfaces.py: add BaseVlmPageModel.formulate_prompt tests (RAW/NONE/CHAT, invalid style), with minimal InlineVlmOptions scaffold

Improves reliability of ASR and VLM components by validating configuration paths and helper logic.

* test(asr): broaden coverage for model selection, pipeline flows, and VLM prompts

- tests/test_asr_mlx_whisper.py
  - Add MLX/native selector coverage across all Whisper sizes
  - Validate repo_id choices under MLX and Native paths
  - Cover fallback path when MPS unavailable and mlx_whisper missing

- tests/test_asr_pipeline.py
  - Relax silent-audio assertion to accept PARTIAL_SUCCESS or SUCCESS
  - Force CPU native path in helper tests to avoid torch in device selection
  - Add language handling tests for native/MLX transcribe
  - Cover native run success (BytesIO) and failure (exception) branches
  - Cover MLX run success/failure branches with mocked transcribe
  - Add init path coverage with artifacts_path

- tests/test_interfaces.py
  - Add focused VLM prompt tests (NONE/CHAT variants)

Result: all tests passing with significantly improved coverage for ASR model selectors, pipeline execution paths, and VLM prompt formulation.
