Description
Is it possible to switch the Polly voice to a male voice? The AWS docs show that there are male voices for many of the different voices, but so far, I'm only able to select female Polly voices in the NavigationRouteOptions (ie NavigationRoute.builder(mContext).language("en-US").build();)
My app only works in English and I like to give my users as many options in the app as possible. This is definitely not a need and more of a want, but I'd love to have the extra choices.
Here are the AWS docs pertaining to this:

**Mapbox Navigation SDK version:** 0.37.0

Research direction
Start with NavigationRouteOptions and the NavigationRoute.builder(...).language("en-US") usage described in the issue, then compare the available AWS Polly voices in the linked voice list. Determine where voice selection is exposed for English navigation and verify that a male Polly voice can be selected; done means users can choose the requested voice option.
