New NVDA synth add-on: Eloquence 2.0.

Note two bugs exist:

1. No choosing of audio device in NVDA's sound dialog (it re-inits the DLL with a full crash and isn't playing through nvwave player)

2. Be warned that cold-starting NVDA with this synthesizer will result in no speech, but it does work when switching from another synth over. Haven't had time to trace down why this is happening exactly, so far the only "fix" is to send a silent audio to prime the DLL for better init.

https://eurpod.com/eloq20-2024.nvda-addon (and before people complain, it's 2025! I'm basing the version on the NVDA series, and making it 2025 may cause confusion to think it's fully compatible with NVDA 2025.X) Also, no shorten pauses, we might be able to add inflection and a few other things back, although doing so may reset variant parameters which is why these are not part of the driver yet. Compared to even Eloquence 3.3, it's super basic and there's not much we can do about that. I tried to disable the abreviations dictionary as well, but Eloquence still loaded it regardless, so again, no clue on it yet.

Oh, and huge shoutout to @rommix0 again, without his debug info I couldn't have done it. Hats off to you, man.
