fix(build): bump NemoTextProcessing to v0.3.1 for Mac Catalyst

[Alex-Wengg]

Mac Catalyst apps cannot link FluidAudio 0.15.6–0.15.8: the text-processing-rs v0.3.0 xcframework has no Catalyst slice (reported by an Action Phrase developer; Catalyst worked before the binary target, see #279).

• Bump NemoTextProcessing to text-processing-rs v0.3.1, which adds ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst and makes the simulator slice universal (feat(xcframework): add Mac Catalyst + x86_64 simulator slices text-processing-rs#89).
• Both Package.swift and Package@swift-6.2.swift updated in lockstep; checksum verified against the release zip.
• PostProcessing.md lists the shipped slices and the affected versions.

Also picks up v0.3.1's namespaced headers (#87), normalize_sentence_lang (#84) and English spoken-fraction ITN (#85). No Swift source changes.

_{Streaming tests use 5 files with 0.5s chunks to simulate real-time audio streaming}

_{25 files per dataset • Test runtime: 8m51s • 09/21/2026, 03:14 PM EST}

_{RTFx = Real-Time Factor (higher is better) • Calculated as: Total audio duration ÷ Total processing time
Processing time includes: Model inference on Apple Neural Engine, audio preprocessing, state resets between files, token-to-text conversion, and file I/O
Example: RTFx of 2.0x means 10 seconds of audio processed in 5 seconds (2x faster than real-time)}

Expected RTFx Performance on Physical M1 Hardware:

• M1 Mac: ~28x (clean), ~25x (other)
• CI shows ~0.5-3x due to virtualization limitations
