💫 Update website (#3285)
<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. -->
## Description
The new website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. Hopefully, this update will also make it much easier to contribute to the docs. Once this PR is merged, I'll implement auto-deployment via [Netlify](https://netlify.com) on a specific branch (to avoid building the website on every PR). There's a bunch of other cool stuff that the new setup will allow us to do – including writing front-end tests, service workers, offline support, implementing a search and so on.
This PR also includes various new docs pages and content.
Resolves #3270. Resolves #3222. Resolves #2947. Resolves #2837.

Every language is different –
cases**, especially amongst the most common words. Some of these exceptions are
shared across languages, while others are **entirely specific** –
specific that they need to be hard-coded. The

[`lang` ](%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/lang ) module contains all language-specific data,
organized in simple Python files. This makes the data easy to update and extend.

The **shared language data** in the directory root includes rules that can be
generalized across languages –

emoticons and single-letter abbreviations. The **individual language data** in a
submodule contains rules that are only relevant to a particular language. It

also takes care of putting together all components and creating the
[`Language` ](/api/language ) subclass – `English` or `German` . The
values are defined in the [`Language.Defaults` ](/api/language#defaults ).
