Enabling festival language option for Telugu

To use festival --language option, and (voice_telugu_NSK_diphone) method, languages.scm.patch needs to be applied. The patch can be applied using the following commands:

        $ su
        # patch /usr/share/festival/languages.scm patches/language.scm.patch

If festival is installed in a location different from "/usr/share/festival", use that path as the first argument to 'patch' command.

After the patch is applied, festival language option can be used at follows:

  1. As an argument to festival when invoked from command line
            $ festival --language telugu --tts examples/sample.txt
    
  2. Setting language to telugu using festival command line (sets current-voice to default telugu voice).
            $ festival
            festival> (voice_telugu)
    
  3. If this patch is not applied, telugu voice can still be used by calling (voice_telugu_NSK_diphone) at the festival command line.
