Enable WebSpeech synthesis in Android. r?smaug

rs+ I guess.
How much testing has it got? Does it work with geckoview?

Not much testing, that's why I think it should be enabled. Would you do this differently? Only enable in pre-release? I figured if it rides the trains we should uncover any issues there may be.

It works in geckoview.

Would it be helpful to have the web compat team do some testing in Nightly? Are there particular sites we are concerned about?

Thanks! This kind of testing would be amazing. I don't actually know of popular sites that use this :)

I made a demo site a while back: http://eeejay.github.io/webspeechdemos/

Note, to compare apples to apples, you need to run this against android chrome. the android platform tts is not great, so we couldn't implement every feature, like pause. chrome had to leave things unimplemented as well.

Devices:
 - Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1);
 - Nexus 9 (Android 6.0.1);
 - Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (Android 7.0).


Verified this using the site provided by Eltan in Comment 5. There was no noticeable difference between Chrome and FF when testing this, speech worked perfectly on all of the devices using a variety of pitch, rate and volume.
