Italian language with Google TTS #2534
Description
I'm running Mycroft on Manjaro Linux, with Italian language.
I tried both the "British male" and "American male" voices, and they do not speak Italian at all. So I decided to try the Google Voice.
That way, no sound is emitted. Whenever Mycroft tries to speak, I see this error in logs (file audio.log):
2020-04-13 10:45:39.632 | INFO | 195922 | mycroft.audio.speech:mute_and_speak:127 | Speak: Va uno spettacolo
2020-04-13 10:45:40.070 | ERROR | 195922 | mycroft.audio.speech:handle_speak:99 | Error in mute_and_speak
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ValueError("Language not supported: %s" % lang)
ValueError: Language not supported: it-it
The problem is that Google TTS can handle "it", but it cannot handle "it-it".
I will release a PR shortly for fixing this. (So far, Google Voice seems my only option for Italian language, so I really need that).
