Upgrade python versions to allow 3.11 installation and fix current pip installation failure

[jmfrank63]

Currently tested on a Mac M1, this alongside the piper PR should fix
pip install piper-tts, which already created three issues.

Upgraded several python versions.
Windows and Linux, not tested yet.

This is now at a point, where some conversation should take place. Currently, MacOS and Windows are working and roughly tested. Linux will follow, but I do not expect the same chore as with Windows.
Both this and the piper are modified. If you want to run this, set an environment variable PIPER_PHONEMIZE_REPO and point it to your fork, so piper will load it.

Hi @jmfrank63,
How did you manage to do a wheel on Windows?

I tried through GitHub actions but got errors:

I don't know exactly what kind of errors you are experiencing, but it might be the Unicode that is not understood by the Microsoft C-compiler. I changed the utf-8 characters to the hex representation and added conditional compilation for windows. But I must have made a mistake because it broke other languages except English, which now produce pure nonsense. Haven't had the time to look into this yet.

You can see the full log here. It says it can't find espeak-ng/include, maibe I'm doing pip wheel in an wrong path...
