Sure, we can include this!

We already have flite_strip_silence in flite.c, I believe we can rename
it and move it to module_utils.c so other modules can use it. The
conversion is not strictly trivial since flite_strip_silence moves the
track->samples pointer, but as long as the module keeps a pointer on the
original buffer to free it, that should just work fine.

I created
https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/issues/458
to track it.

Yes, we'll have to try it with some module before applying changes to
other modules anyway.
