💬 Added text-to-speech request objects and improved GUI load time

Text-to-speech request objects allow us to make structured requests to the text-to-speech generator. This allows several things

• Queue requests can have differing settings so that responses match setting values at the time the request was made rather than at the time the voice is generated
• More predictable request types lead to less bugs
• Matches StableDiffusion and LLM request object pattern for consistency
• Extending the code is less confusing
