Define the Interface that SAPI expects a TTS engine to implement in a more 'cross platform/modern' way #1

The SAPI interface is based on COM/IDL which is a bit obtuse to understand in today's world.

Step 1: Abstract the ISpTTSEngine interface and restate it using a functional description language which is a bit higher level (C# interface? "Native" C++ interface?)

Step 2: Select a C++ coding standard for expressing that interface.

Step 3: (separate issue) Find a matching build system that can both implement that interface as well as the COM interop layer.
