espeakedit: Prosody window now shows the FMT() or WAV() filename
and the standard length of the selected phoneme.

To use rates other than the default 22050Hz, the phoneme data must
be recompiled. This needs the "sox" program to be available.
(sox.sourceforge.net).
espeakedit: Added menu option to compile the phoneme data at a
specified sample rate (rather than the default 22050Hz).
phondata: Includes the value of the sample rate at which the data was compiled.

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.
