Subject: [PATCH] Implement IPC Call for Text-to-Melody

Connect the Text-to-Melody UI button to the backend audio engine using IPC.
- Add `text_to_melody` method to `DawIPC` class in `native/intuitives_daw/intlib/ipc/daw.py`.
- Update `GeneratorPanel.on_generate_text` in `native/intuitives_daw/intui/widgets/generators.py` to call the IPC method with the current item UID and input text.
- Add necessary imports and null checks.
