Bound transcript memory and translation queue size

- Add MAX_TRANSCRIPT_LENGTH (500) and MAX_TRANSLATION_QUEUE_SIZE (100)
  class constants to ServeClientBase
- Trim transcript and text lists after each update_segments() call
- Create translation queue with maxsize to prevent unbounded growth
- Added tests for _trim_transcript()
