What does this feature/enhancement do? Why is it needed?

Dynamic UI updates are performance hits. The voice dot indicator above an avatars head is a small one of these. Allow the in world voice indicator to be toggled in preferences and default it to ON. Does not change chat window, it is still important to know who is speaking though, so we must continue to display it in all conversation windows.

This will need UX to find a spot for the toggle.

Updated title and original description. New expectation is that the default is ON.
