Disable C++ pipeline (QNN non-deterministic), keep Java RTF 1.8

Root cause found: QNN HTP level=1 compilation is not bitwise
deterministic. Two loads of the same .pte produce slightly different
hidden states → audible trembling in decoded speech.

Java pipeline uses single QNN instance → no trembling, validated quality.
C++ pipeline code preserved for future use when QNN context caching
is fixed (would make both loads use same compiled graph).
