Purpose of code changes on this branch: add speech recognition to TextInput 
field.


When reviewing my code changes, please focus on:
- Jacob: UI and code (there's not much!)
- Amit: UI
- Sergio, Javier, Eugenio: code (any thoughts/questions?)


After the review, I'll merge this branch into: N/A. Based on the review 
comments from Amit and Jacob, I'll probably redo this (together with adding the 
ability for exploration editors to customize the speech recognition language) 
in a new branch.

Further notes (pulling this from an email I was about to send):

----

Sergio, Javier, Eugenio: thanks for the chat this morning! I went through your 
commit and have reimplemented it as an option for string input fields in 
general (in our forms framework). Please have a look at these two commits, and 
leave comments if you have any questions -- I'd be happy to explain. You can 
also checkout this branch by going to oppia/ and running:

    git pull
    git checkout experiment-speech

and it should work on your dev server.

----

Jacob, Amit: Sergio, Javier and Eugenio have implemented speech recognition in 
Chrome (it does not work in other browsers). Based on their work, I've modified 
the input field for text input to accept speech (only in Chrome; it degrades 
gracefully in the non-webkit browsers).

Please try it out in both Chrome and Firefox and see if you like how it looks 
-- the simplest way is to checkout the experiment-speech branch, load the "Lazy 
Magician" demo exploration, and play through the first state. Do either of you 
have any thoughts on the UI aspects? I think this is actually pretty nice and 
am strongly considering bringing it into mainline, but am not sure if there's 
any considerations I'm overlooking.

Thanks!

Added follow-on commit here based on Amit's UI suggestions:

Amit, question for you: what should this feature look like for a textarea 
(multiple lines)?
