Customize REPLY action text hint

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using the REPLY action, there doesn't appear to be a way to customize the 
text "Speak your Message". It would be useful if developers could specify their 
own hint text here.

This is the same as issue #45:

You can already override built-in menuItem's icons and display name by setting 
them in the "value" array:

{
  "menuItems": [
    {
      "action": "REPLY",
      "values": [
        "displayName": "Comment",
        "iconUrl": "<LINK_TO_CUSTOM_ICONS>"
       ]
    }
  ]
}

Setting this issue as "duplicate".

This isn't the same issue. 
I actually want to be able to change the text that is displayed at the top of 
screen when the microphone is shown. 

It currently shows...

Speak your message

(pulsating microphone icon)

Just curious, what kind of use-cases are you thinking of?

My Mirror API application uses REPLY actions in two places where this would be 
helpful. It's an app that allows users to search addresses and view information 
about registered voters at a given address.

USE CASE 1: Address search
1. Users selects the timeline item for the application
2. User taps the REPLY action to speak an address
3. Application responds with a list of voters at that address

In this case it would be nice to replace the "Speak your message" with "Say an 
address". It makes it clearer to the user what they're doing.

USE CASE 2: Log/record a note
1. User wants to record a note for a particular (ie. Strong supporter, wants 
yard sign, etc)
2. User taps a REPLY action to record a note
3. Note gets added to the voter's database record

For this case, text like "Note for John Doe" would be more helpful than "Speak 
your message".
