Add SpeechToDeck to Plugin Store

Adds a microphone button to the Steam virtual keyboard. Press it, speak, press
it again: the full utterance is transcribed locally by a pinned Voxtype
(whisper.cpp) runtime and the complete transcript is inserted into the text
field as one bulk paste action — no cloud services, no accounts, no
per-character typing, no auto-submit. Multilingual by default (whisper base),
VAD to reject silence-only input, clipboard-only mode as an explicit fallback.

This PR adds the plugin as a submodule pinned to the release commit.

Task Checklist

Developer

  • I am the original author or an authorized maintainer of this plugin.
  • I have abided by the licenses of the libraries I am utilizing, including
    attaching license notices where appropriate.
    (THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md: whisper.cpp MIT, Voxtype MIT, React MIT, Decky
    MIT.)
  • OWNER: Generative AI was NOT used to write a majority of the code I
    am submitting.

Plugin

  • OWNER: I have verified that my plugin works properly on the Stable
    and Beta update channels of SteamOS.
  • I have verified my plugin is unique or provides more/alternative
    functionality to a plugin already on the store.
    (No existing store plugin adds a dictation button to the Steam virtual
    keyboard with local bulk-insert transcription.)

Backend

  • No: I am using a custom backend other than Python.
  • Yes: I am using a tool or software from a 3rd party FOSS project that
    does not have it's dependencies statically linked.
    (Voxtype v1.0.1, MIT, https://github.com/peteonrails/voxtype — dynamically
    linked against glibc; delivered via package.json remote_binary with pinned
    sha256.)
  • No: I am using a custom binary that has all of it's dependencies
    statically linked.

Community

  • I have tested and left feedback on two other pull requests for
    new or updating plugins.
  • I have commented links to my testing report in this PR.

Testing

  • Tested by a third party on SteamOS Preview update channel.
