These are some improvements to the german voices, both default and mbrola. It fixes some sounds of phonemes and also pronunciation of words. I also modified the mbrola phoneme and voice files to make them sound more natural. The stressLength setting is that it matches the way espeak deals with the lengths.
Ignore character U+00AD (soft hyphen) in text.
Added stress rule code for Lang=kl (Greenlandic).
Changes to languages: it, ta, si

Amplitude changes now apply also to mbrola voices.
"voicing" attribute is now used in mbrola voice files to set the voice loudness.
SSML commands such as <mark> and <prosody> were ignored if they were inside a multiword group (defined in *_list). This is now fixed so that the command is processed at the end of the group.
