* docs(readme): lead with download + first clone; seed benchmarks page

Quickstart (installers, install guides, a three-step first-clone walkthrough)
moves above What's-new/Features in both READMEs — visitors get the action
before the pitch. New docs/benchmarks.md anchors measured per-engine/device
numbers on the bench_pipeline.py harness, community-contributed, no estimates.

* docs(changelog): entry for the README conversion restructure (#1555)

* fix(bench): emit RTF + CUDA peak VRAM; guard NaN RAM; define the benchmarks schema

Bot harvest on #1555: the tts stage now prints RTF per warm measurement and
CUDA peak VRAM (None elsewhere — no made-up zeros), the stage floor refuses
unmeasurable RAM instead of sailing past a NaN comparison (FLOOR_GB=0
overrides), docs/benchmarks.md columns map 1:1 to what the harness prints,
and the download badges say they open the release page.

* fix(bench): name the resolved engine, track VRAM from resolution, comment the guards

* docs(readme): the quick-switch gif is the hero image

The hero shows motion now; the Launchpad screenshot moves into the 0.5.0
What's-new slot so nothing appears twice.

* fix(bench): peak VRAM is reserved memory; adapter engines name their model

* fix(bench): subprocess-isolated engines report VRAM n/a, not a parent-side zero

* fix(bench): out-of-process detection is declarative; sherpa rows name their model

'runs_out_of_process' is now a TTSBackend attribute set by SubprocessBackend
AND omnivoice-gguf (which inherits TTSBackend directly but spawns a binary
per generate — the isinstance check missed it). Duck-typed for the same
module-purge reason as _is_subprocess_isolated. Sherpa-onnx identity comes
from _model_dir's basename when _model_id is absent.

* fix(bench): backends self-report model identity via TTSBackend.model_identity()

Greptile enumerated the adapter engines one at a time (mlx _model_id,
sherpa _model_dir, cosyvoice env-only) — the attribute sniffing rots per
engine. The hook fixes the class: each multi-model backend reports its
own identity, the profiler just asks.
