Cognitive Services Speech adds new Neural TTS voices and general availability of Neural TTS in containers

Azure Neural Text to Speech (TTS) has extended its global support, adding five new languages: Maltese, Lithuanian, Estonian, Irish and Latvian, in public preview. With these updates, Azure TTS service now supports 54 languages/locales with [73 neural voices](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#neural-voices) and [77 standard voices](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#standard-voices) available. Together with the preview of these five new languages, we are also announcing that the Neural TTS Container is now generally available. With Neural TTS Container, developers can run speech synthesis with the most natural digital voices in their own environment for specific security and data governance requirements.
