commit 9a4b17f93273dfe2936fb672e114993d264760a9

dev-python/openai-whisper: new package, add 20250625
OpenAI's reference Whisper ASR Python implementation. Stepping stone
toward sci-ml/amd-gaia's deferred talk extra (gaia.audio.whisper_asr
imports plain "whisper"; whisper.cpp from ::guru does not satisfy that
call site — same model, different API shape).
Triton fastpath omitted: upstream's optional triton>=2 dep enables the
fused-attention decoder, but sci-ml/triton is not packaged on this
overlay yet. Pure-PyTorch fallback is functional. pkg_postinst tells
the user. Triton-as-RDEPEND is a separate followup once the package
itself lands (LLVM-based JIT, non-trivial).
Blocker !dev-python/whisper: Graphite's round-robin database package
also installs a top-level "whisper" Python module. Only one can win at
import time; the projects are unrelated. Users have to pick.
Distfile date-versioned per upstream tag scheme (no semver). PYTHON
SINGLE_IMPL because torch is single-impl; that propagates here via
sci-ml/pytorch.
