Add Godot 4 native application conversion of Sight Words

[brenk28]

Summary

This PR introduces a complete Godot 4.x native application implementation of the Sight Words web app, providing feature parity with the React/TypeScript version while leveraging native platform capabilities.

Key Changes

• Project Setup: Created Godot 4.2+ project configuration with GL Compatibility renderer, 800x600 window, and proper icon/assets
• Global State Management: Implemented GameState autoload singleton managing word list, display settings, and persistence via ConfigFile
• Text-to-Speech Integration: Created TTSManager autoload wrapping Godot's DisplayServer TTS API with voice selection, rate/pitch control, and platform detection
• Main Scene & UI: Built programmatic UI layout in main.gd with header, word display area, footer, and settings overlay (no scene files needed for UI)
• Word Display Component: Implemented word_display.gd with styled card panel, large centered text, click/spacebar input handling, and fade-in animations
• Settings Panel: Created full-screen settings overlay with word list editing, display options (random/auto-advance), speech configuration, and voice selection
• Persistence: Integrated ConfigFile-based save/load for all settings and word lists
• Polish: Added toast notifications, proper input handling, indigo color scheme matching the web app, and auto-advance timer

Feature Parity

All features from the React web app are now available in the native Godot version:

• Word display and navigation (click, spacebar, auto-advance)
• Sequential and random word ordering
• Text-to-speech with adjustable rate and pitch
• Voice selection from system voices
• Editable word list with reset to defaults
• Persistent settings storage
• Smooth fade-in animations and toast notifications

Implementation Notes

• UI is built entirely in GDScript (no .tscn files for UI components) for maintainability and reliability
• Uses Godot's native DisplayServer TTS API instead of Web Speech API
• ConfigFile handles persistence to user://settings.cfg
• Autoload singletons provide global state and TTS management
• Tween animations for smooth transitions
• Proper input handling prevents settings panel from interfering with word advance controls
