fix: unify qwen tts cache dir for tokenizer loading on Windows

[seidenbergerscott]

Summary

• route Qwen TTS rom_pretrained through a single HF cache root
• pass cache_dir=HF_HUB_CACHE to avoid split cache between hub and transformers
• switch deprecated orch_dtype arg to dtype for compatibility

Why

On Windows local setups, model assets can split between .hf-cache/hub and .hf-cache/transformers, causing speech_tokenizer/preprocessor_config.json load errors and 500s during generation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Resolved Text-to-Speech model loading inconsistencies by standardizing cache directory management across all computational environments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PyTorchTTSBackend model loading is updated to centralize Hugging Face Hub cache directory handling by importing HF_HUB_CACHE and applying it to model loading calls. Additionally, the torch_dtype parameter is replaced with dtype, specifying float32 for CPU and bfloat16 for GPU paths.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
TTS Model Loading Configuration backend/backends/pytorch_backend.py	Added HF_HUB_CACHE import and tts_cache_dir variable; applied cache_dir parameter to Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained calls in both CPU and non-CPU branches; replaced torch_dtype with dtype (float32 for CPU, bfloat16 for non-CPU).

Poem

🐰 A cache most organized, now takes its place,
Through Hub's own paths, we set the pace,
With dtype specified, both paths aligned,
Float and bfloat, perfectly designed! 🎉

This PR fixes a Windows cache split between Hugging Face hub and transformers cache paths that can cause model load failures (missing speech_tokenizer/preprocessor_config.json) and generation 500s after download.
