Add API to list synthesis voices for a specified language or dialect

I'm working on implementing fast, on-the-fly language switching in Orca. Thus I need to be able to quickly see if the current synthesizer supports a particular language + optional dialect. I'm using list_synthesis_voices, but it returns all of the voices. And for modules such as espeak (and variants thereof), the number returned is huge. It would be great to have API to just get the voices we're interested in.

I was planning to release an rc of 0.12 soon, could you check from master whether this commit fills your need, or do you prefer to wait for the rc?

Thanks! I have some DayJob stuff I have to do the next few days. But looking at the change, it appears to be what I need. So don't hold your release up for me. I will try to test soon. Really appreciate it!
