Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)
I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

- Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
- Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

whisper.cpp v1.8.3 dropped the `libwhisper.a` Makefile target entirely in favour of CMake, breaking the Linux release workflow.
## Changes
- **`release.yml`**: Replace `make -C ... libwhisper.a` with a CMake configure + targeted build, building only the `whisper` target (pulls in ggml deps automatically) and disabling unneeded tests/examples/server:
```yaml
cmake -S internal/whisper/whisper.cpp \
-B internal/whisper/whisper.cpp/build \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
-DWHISPER_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DWHISPER_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DWHISPER_BUILD_SERVER=OFF
cmake --build internal/whisper/whisper.cpp/build --target whisper
```
- **`internal/whisper/whisper_cgo.go`**: Update CGo flags to match v1.8.3's directory layout:
- Include path: `whisper.cpp/include/` (header moved from repo root)
- Library paths: `build/src/` (whisper) + `build/ggml/src/` (ggml)
- Added ggml split-library deps (`-lggml -lggml-base -lggml-cpu`) and Linux `-fopenmp`, matching the [official Go bindings](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/blob/v1.8.3/bindings/go/whisper.go)
