Add --tone-test mode: 440 Hz Opus tone + incoming audio capture

Adds a --tone-test flag that bypasses all OpenAL/soundcard
initialization and instead:

- Generates a 440 Hz sine wave at 48kHz mono, encodes it via Opus,
  and sends it to the Mumble server.

- Saves all incoming decoded audio to a raw PCM file (s16le,
  stereo, 48kHz) specified by --tone-out (default: incoming.pcm).

Useful for end-to-end testing of the Opus encode/decode pipeline
and Mumble transport without requiring physical audio hardware.

Usage:
  barnard --server HOST --tone-test --tone-out /tmp/in.pcm

  ffplay -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 incoming.pcm
