This makes the following changes:
1. setVoice takes a Voice object instead of a language string.
This is to make the API cleaner and allows SpeechSynthesis
to pass the correct parameter (identifier for SetVoiceByName,
or name for SetVoiceByProperties) to espeak.
2. The espeak_SetVoiceByName API is also exposed to support passing
the voice variant to use.
3. The age parameter has been re-added with the constants:
* SpeechSynthesis.AGE_ANY
* SpeechSynthesis.AGE_YOUNG
* SpeechSynthesis.AGE_OLD
based on the behaviour of the eSpeak voice selection algorithm.
NOTE: Due to the way that voice selection is implemented in eSpeak,
if variant is specified, the age and gender cannot be specified and
vice versa.
