Support multiple source languages (Chinese, Korean, English) in WhisperJAV

This PR adds support for transcribing videos in languages other than Japanese:

  • Add --language CLI switch to override default language
  • Update ASR modules to use configured language instead of hardcoded 'ja'
  • Update config system to support language parameter
  • Test language parameter propagation through pipelines
  • Update documentation

Investigation findings:

  • Language is currently hardcoded to 'ja' in whisper_pro_asr.py (line 54) and stable_ts_asr.py (line 114)
  • The config system already supports language in decoder options (asr_config.json)
  • Need to add CLI parameter and propagate through the resolve_params flow
  • The transcription_tuner.py properly handles language in decoder params
