REVISION SUMMARY
  This re-introduces the ability to automatically speak out loud the current time in \
intervals configured by the user (between every minute and every hour). It uses \
QtTextToSpeech module when available.

TEST PLAN
  Even if I installed `libqt5texttospeech5` on neon I did not get working speech \
synthesis as it was missing the speechd plugin (Bug 381523)  
  Because of QLocale limitations I had to go great lengths to figure out whether I \
should be announcing in 24 hour format or 12 with "am/pm".  
  Verified that switching 12/24 in digital clock still worked (both checkbox and \
`LANG` variable) and also that it affects the voice in the same way. Gives you a "It \
is eleven twenty-nine aaaammm" robot voice of doom. We don't have any configuration \
utility in System Settings for voice yet, right?  
  Also verified that when QtTextToSpeech is not installed, this feature gets \
completely disabled including the config option that will be hidden.  
  Settings dialog with combo box and a speaker icon to test the voice.
