New V3 Silero VAD is Already Here

Main changes

- One VAD to rule them all!
- New model includes the functionality of all of the previous ones with improved quality and speed!
- As far as we know, our VAD is the best in the world now;
- Flexible sampling rate, 8000 Hz and 16000 Hz are supported;
- Flexible chunk size, minimum chunk size is just 30 milliseconds!
- Only 100k parameters;
- GPU inference and batching are supported (the model is small, so we decided not to publish a quantized model);
- Radically, drastically simplified examples;

We also drastically polished and simplified README, wiki and repo in general.
