I disabled this because there were many complaints about slow decoding.
The current implementation does not allow batching the decoders when
using the "best of" or "beam size" parameters, so the decoding time is
proportional to the number of decoders, which is obviously not great.
However, now there are even more complaints about wrong decodings and
repetition.
So, making a compromise by re-enabling the fallbacks, but defaulting to
just 2 "best of" / "beam size" decoders. Also, the temperature step is
increased from 0.2 to 0.4 - i.e. from maximum of 5 fallbacks to maximum
of 2.
Also, the stream example now has fallbacks enabled by default.

- remove unnecessary initialization of string to ""
- use empty() instead of checking size()
- use emplace_back instead of push_back
- use nullptr instead of NULL
- remove unnecessary call to .data() on string
- use character overload of find_first_of() instead of passing a string

I used a vector pointer instead of vector itself because it gave weird errors, and why not

Used to overwrite the audio context size of the Encoder.
For example, setting "audio_ctx = 512" will make it run about 3 times
faster, processing about 10s of audio, instead of 30s.
The transcription quality drops, but this can be used for real-time
streaming purposes where performance is important.
Using a Phase Vocoder for speeding up the audio tempo by scaling down
the frequencies in the frequency domain.
This reduces the computation in the Encoder by a factor of 2.
The transcription accuracy is degraded, but for slow to normal speech -
it seems to be still very good.
I think this can find application for real-time transcription - i.e. the
"stream" example.
