Adjustable VAD threshold for Speech to Text

Speech to Text now accepts a vad_threshold parameter (streaming query param and batch multipart field) to tune the voice-activity gate that skips non-speech audio. Lower values transcribe quieter or noisier speech - useful for narrowband telephony - and 0 disables the gate.
