### Added
- Added `UserSpeakingFrame`. This will be sent upstream and downstream while VAD
detects the user is speaking.
- Expanded support for universal `LLMContext` to more LLM services. Using the
universal `LLMContext` and associated `LLMContextAggregatorPair` is a
pre-requisite for using `LLMSwitcher` to switch between LLMs at runtime.

### Changed
- `UserStartedSpeakingFrame` and `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame` are also pushed
upstream.
- `ParallelPipeline` now waits for `CancelFrame` to finish in all branches
before pushing it downstream.
