af 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, without the downsides of stochasticity. Also, af could simply be a better voice than its predecessor af_0.

TODO for @Pendrokar if this PR is accepted: purge and refresh cached samples. Let me know if you need my help with this.
