Change default voice for Kokoro TTS to af_gladiatrix

Browse files

`af_gladiatrix` is the new default voice for Kokoro TTS. It is the equally weighted mean of all other American female voices (except `af_nicole`, who is an ASMR exception):
- af_0
- af_alloy
- af_bella
- af_jessica
- af_nova
- af_river
- af_sarah
- af_sky

This helps address some of the "overfitting to one voice" concerns raised in [closed PR #14](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Pendrokar/TTS-Spaces-Arena/discussions/14), without the downsides of stochasticity. Also, `af_gladiatrix` could simply be a better voice than its predecessor `af_0`.
