Add option to pass raw phonemes to piper
This is useful when using custom phonemizers

wget.exe https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/en/en_US/bryce/medium/en_US-bryce-medium.onnx
wget.exe https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/en/en_US/bryce/medium/en_US-bryce-medium.onnx.json
# set `"phoneme_type": "raw"` in `en_US-bryce-medium.onnx.json`
cmake -B build .
cmake --build build
echo "həlˈəʊ fɹɒm pˈaɪpə" | ./build/piper -m en_US-bryce-medium.onnx -c en_US-bryce-medium.onnx.json -f audio.wav
ffplay audio.wav # hello from piper

Also I added the option to preprocess metadata.csv where instead of text we can have phonemes (when using custom phonemizer). in the preprocess it takes them as is, and skip the phonemization.

Bumping this, this is a very important feature for my use case (training and inference on new language directly using IPA).

Development has moved: https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl
I think the "text" phonemes type should behave similar to how you have "raw" here, no?
