Whisper auto-detection frequently misidentifies short/accented clips,
which users experience as voice notes transcribed in the wrong language
(Teknium + CTO both hit this). The unified resolver from #73067 made a
global hint possible; this makes it the DEFAULT so stock installs stop
guessing. Non-English users set stt.language once; '' restores
auto-detect for multilingual use.
Deep-merge gives existing configs the new default automatically (no
_config_version bump needed); any explicit per-provider or global
language setting still wins.
