feat: implement speed-dependent tire pitch scaling and highway joint thumps

[swarup-developer]

What changed and why

• Implemented speed-dependent tire pitch scaling for the tire-on-asphalt hum loop. As the truck accelerates, the frequency slides up; as it slows, it slides down into a deep rumble. This eliminates the static/flat feeling of the road.
• Implemented periodic concrete highway expansion joint thumps. The tires now thump rhythmically over joints every 14-18 meters (with organic random variance) above 5 m/s.
• Triggered brief low-frequency haptic joint thumps through the controller when crossing joints.

What players or maintainers will notice

• The tire road hum pitch changes dynamically with speed (BASS backend).
• Rhythmic, soft tire thumps over concrete joints (both audio clicks and subtle controller haptic pulses) at speed-proportional intervals.
• Silent joints and low-frequency hum when stopped or crawling.

Tests and checks run

• Full test suite run (uv run pytest), all 1341 tests pass.
• Ruff checks (uv run ruff check) are completely clean.
• Added specific unit tests:
  • test_joint_is_low_frequency_only_and_stops in tests/test_rumble.py
  • test_bass_road_noise_frequency_changes_with_speed in tests/test_audio_backends.py
  • test_road_joint_thumps_accumulate_distance_and_trigger in tests/test_driving_features.py

Accessibility impact

• Fully keyboard and screen reader accessible. Checked that spoken/audio cues do not overlap awkwardly, and the soft thump volume scales down to be non-intrusive.

Changelog

• I added a player-facing bullet under ## Unreleased in CHANGELOG.md, written in plain player language and matching the style of the existing entries.
• This change is not player-facing, and every commit message in this PR includes [skip changelog].

Use unscaled distance for road-joint timing

At normal gameplay pace this accumulator uses trip.last_moved_mi, but Trip.update computes that value from velocity_mps * dt * effective_time_scale (default 10x, selectable up to 40x), so the new joint thumps are scheduled on compressed route distance rather than the truck's real wheel distance. At 65 mph the intended 14–18 m spacing should sound roughly every half second, but the default pace makes it about 10x faster and fast pace can trigger nearly every frame; use an unscaled physical delta such as t.velocity_mps * dt for this audio/haptic effect.
