PiperRead v0.3.3-beta

Your voices can no longer be hidden by a leftover folder, and the README and
the website now show what the interface looks like.

PiperRead looks for voices in ~/.local/share/piperread/voices/, and, when it
runs from a clone of the repository, in a voices folder next to read.sh.
Until now, that second folder, when it existed, replaced the first one
entirely: every voice in ~/.local/share/piperread/voices/ disappeared from
the launcher and from the interface's settings, without any message.

  • Both folders are now read. When both hold a voice with the same name, the
    one next to read.sh is used. --download-voice still saves into the first
    folder that exists.
  • The settings dialog of the interface lists the voices of both folders. The
    Windows interface still reads only the voices folder next to
    piperread-gui.exe.
  • piperread --diagnose now names the folder of the voice in use.
  • The README, in its four languages, and the "Understand" page of the website
    show the interface icon with its menu open on KDE Plasma, GNOME and
    Windows 11. The README's list of menu entries now includes "Restart".
  • Packages for Debian and Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE Leap and Arch, and the
    Windows folder, are rebuilt for this version.
