add-audio-format — support a new audio extension

Add an audio extension end-to-end so users can pick it and transcribe it.

whisper-cli decodes only wav, mp3, ogg, flac directly. Everything else must be converted to 16 kHz mono WAV via ffmpeg first.

If the new format is one whisper-cli reads natively → add it to nativeFormats in transcribe.go.
Otherwise → leave it out of nativeFormats; the existing convertToWav path in transcribe.go handles it automatically (requires ffmpeg).

When unsure whether a format is native, treat it as needing conversion — the fallback path is safe.

File picker filter — add the extension (with leading dot, lowercase) to the storage.NewExtensionFileFilter list in chooseFile in main.go.
Native decode (only if native) — add the extension to the nativeFormats map in transcribe.go.
Docs — update the supported-formats list in README.md, placing the extension under "directly" or "via auto-conversion" accordingly.
Verify — run the project gate:
```
go build ./... && go vet ./... && gofmt -l .
```
(Or invoke the check skill.)

Extensions are matched case-insensitively (strings.ToLower / strings.EqualFold), but list them lowercase with a leading dot.
Do not duplicate an extension that is already present.
Conversion always produces a temp WAV that is removed via defer os.Remove; do not change that cleanup behavior.
