Fixes #10253

Summary of the issue:

A gesture is missing to control automatic language switching and automatic dialect switching options.

Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:

Add an unassigned script that cycles through the 3 following automatic language and dialect switching modes:

• Language and dialect switching off
• Language switching on, dialect switching off
  • Language and dialect switching on

Note that the 4th possible state (language switching off and dialect switching on) does not make sense.

Testing strategy:

• Called the script many times and checked the result in the Speech Settings panel after each call
• Tested with eSpeak in French (Franche) the text on this test page: ExamplePageWithLangTag.html.txt
  Note: The number 70 is said to be "soixante-dix" in French from France and "septante" in French from Belgium. Hence the easy test to distinguish one dialect from another.

Known issues with pull request:

In #10253, the alternative solution to include this toggle in the synth setting ring was suggested by @JulienCochuyt.
Since the synth settings ring already contains many parameters, I have not retained this solution. Should #7747 be implemented, we can re-discuss it at that time.
Also a dedicated gesture is faster than the ring and thus would fulfill the expectations of #10253 (comment).
