Subject: [PATCH] Replace resemble-perth with a no-op stub

resemble-perth uses uv-build which is incompatible with the old system
pip in the ROCm base image. Since watermarking is unnecessary for
self-hosted private use, stub out the perth module so chatterbox's
import is satisfied without any build complexity.
