Full Release Notes

- added specific_model parameter which allows using XTTS model checkpoints like "2.0.2" or "2.0.1"  
  - currently set to "2.0.2" as a default because 2.0.3 seems to perform worse
  - set to None if you want to always use the latest model
- added local_models_path
  - if not specified specific_model models will be loaded in a directory "models" in the script directory 
  - if no specific_model is set it will use coqui's default model directory (users/start/appdata/local/tts under Windows)
- added use_deepspeed parameter in case anybody has it installed
- added prepare_text_for_synthesis_callback parameter in case the default handler for preparing text for synthesis fails (maybe due to using a language I am not familiar with) and you want to implement your own
