audio_stream.py: Added focus_side property. When set, the stream
yields from the focused side regardless of energy (attention lock).
When None, falls back to energy-based auto selection.
multi_speaker.py: When beams lock onto 2 speakers, sets audio focus
to the target speaker's side. Auto-switches target when the current
target goes silent and the other starts talking. Manual focus via API.
headmic.py: New endpoint POST /speakers/focus?speaker=0|1 to manually
switch attention. /speakers/tracked now shows is_target, target_speaker,
and audio_focus fields.
The cocktail party effect: when 2 people are talking, the audio feed
to Porcupine/VAD/transcription comes from the target speaker's direction,
suppressing the other. XVF3800 beam gating silences the non-speaking beam,
and audio_stream focus locks the ear facing the target.

multi_speaker.py: Tracks up to 2 speakers simultaneously. When 2 distinct
DoA angles are detected (30°+ apart) for >1s, locks the XVF3800's fixed
beams onto each speaker. Releases back to auto mode when only 1 speaker
remains (3s timeout). Manages beam gating so only the speaking beam is active.
xvf3800.py: Added beam steering commands — enable_fixed_beams(),
set_beam_azimuths(), enable_beam_gating(), read_all_beams().
Manager gets steer_beams() and release_beams() convenience methods.
headmic.py: Wire multi-speaker tracker into DoA loop. New endpoint:
GET /speakers/tracked — current speaker positions, beam mode, lock state.
