Bugfixes and tweaks

* Temporarily restore normal process priority. Working on adding a UI
  option to set STT prio.
* Give audio indicator phonemes a 1/3 chance to do nothing. Makes result
  sound a little better imo.
* Quiet down steamVR thread when steamVR isn't running
* Fix use of `button_id` and `hand_id` in steamvr.py
* Increase amount of silence allowed before transcript from 1 to 5
  seconds. You want enough buffer to allow for a few full transcripts,
  else you risk spuriously dropping audio.
* Enable background loading in audio metadata (required by vrc sdk)
