Summary: text speed should not be limited to 90

Initial Comment:
When changing text speed with + and - keys it is not possible to make it as slow as I want.
It is possible to select a very slow speed with the talkspeed keyword in the config file, but when I accidentally hit the - key, the speed will be set to the slowest value I can select with the keys.

I think the following code in scumm/scummvm.cpp is responsble for this:

        } else if (_lastKeyHit == '-') { // - text speed down
                _defaultTalkDelay += 5;
                if (_defaultTalkDelay > 90)
                        _defaultTalkDelay = 90;
                                                                                
I would like to have a much higher limit as I used values 200 or 300 in the config files for children who need much time for reading because they just learned to read.

A useful limit could be 500 or 1000.

A new key in the config file, e.g. maxtalkspeed=500, with the current limit of 90 as default value would be nice.
