Add smoothness training pipeline with STFT/adversarial/vocoder-consistency losses

- inflect_nano/train_smooth.py: enhanced training with multi-res STFT loss,
  adversarial mel discriminator, vocoder consistency loss, deeper residual
  postnet, and cosine LR schedule
- preprocess_dataset.py: convert HF datasets, local dirs, or LJSpeech CSVs
  to the durations.jsonl format needed by training
- inference.py: add --smooth-prosody, --mel-smooth-sigma, --lowpass-hz flags
  for zero-cost inference-time quality improvements
- test_inference.py: smoke tests for model loading and synthesis
- colab_smooth_finetune.ipynb: Colab notebook for T4 GPU fine-tuning
- requirements.txt: add numba, scipy, datasets

+This notebook fine-tunes [Inflect-Nano-v1](https://huggingface.co/owensong/Inflect-Nano-v1) with enhanced smoothness losses.  
+Runs on a **free T4 GPU** in Colab.  Trains in ~3-6 hours.

+- Multi-resolution STFT loss (penalises buzz)

+- Deeper residual postnet
+- Cosine LR schedule with warmup

+### What the fine-tuning actually does
+
+| Loss | Weight | What it improves |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| Multi-resolution STFT | 0.15 | Spectral smoothness — directly penalises buzzy artifacts |
+| Adversarial mel | 0.08 | Realistic spectrogram texture |
+| Vocoder consistency (wav) | 0.12 | Ensures generated mels voice cleanly through vocoder |
+| Vocoder consistency (mel) | 0.08 | Mel-reconstruction fidelity |
+| Delta (spectral derivative) | 0.25 | Frame-to-frame smoothness |
+| Acceleration (2nd deriv) | 0.08 | Reduces jitter/stutter |
+| Prosody exposure bias | 0.05 | Trains with predicted (not reference) prosody |
+| Robust prosody mix | 0.05 | Mixed-mode prosody for stability |
+
+All new losses are **training-only** — the exported model has the same 4.6M params as the original (plus ~260K for the deeper postnet).
