Add solo-speaker mode to podcast transcript prompt (#530)

Browse source 
Introduce conditional handling for solo podcasts in prompts/podcast/transcript.jinja. Changes add tailored final-segment wording, strict solo-speaker formatting and guidelines (force use of the single speaker name, require minimum turns, enforce not inventing other speakers), and additional transcript-generation reminders (flow, root "transcript" key, transitions). Multi-speaker behavior and existing format instructions are preserved.

Guidelines for creating the transcript:
- Ensure the presentation flows naturally and covers all points in the outline.
- Ensure you return the root "transcript" key in your response.
- Make the content sound engaging and educational.
- Include relevant details from the briefing.
- Break up the content into digestible segments with natural transitions.
- Use appropriate transitions between topics.
- Match the speaker's dialogue to their personality and expertise.
- This is a whole podcast so no need to reintroduce the speaker or topics on each segment. Segments are just markers for us to know to change the topics, nothing else.
- CRITICAL: There is only ONE speaker. Use ONLY: {{ speaker_names[0] }}. Do NOT invent additional speakers.
