feat(accessible_output): add option for Accessible Output in conversa…

…tion settings

- Introduced a new configuration option `use_accessible_output` in the `ConversationSettings` class to enable or disable accessible output.
- Implemented conditional checks in `conversation_tab.py` to use accessible output based on the new configuration setting.
- Added a checkbox in the `PreferencesDialog` to allow users to enable or disable accessible output for spoken and braille feedback.
