* label in span not writable anymore
* more explicit unit test and error message for readonly label
* bit more explanation (view)
* error msg tailored to specific case
* fix None case
Closes#2203. Closes#3268.
Lemmas set from outside the `Morphology` class were being overwritten. The result was especially confusing when deserialising, as it meant some lemmas could change when storing and retrieving a `Doc` object.
This PR applies two fixes:
1) When we go to set the lemma in the `Morphology` class, first check whether a lemma is already set. If so, don't overwrite.
2) When we load with `doc.from_array()`, take care to apply the `TAG` field first. This allows other fields to overwrite the `TAG` implied properties, if they're provided explicitly (e.g. the `LEMMA`).

* Make serialization methods consistent
exclude keyword argument instead of random named keyword arguments and deprecation handling
* Update docs and add section on serialization fields
* Use default return instead of else
* Add Doc.is_nered to indicate if entities have been set
* Add properties in Doc.to_json if they were set, not if they're available
This way, if a processed Doc exports "pos": None, it means that the tag was explicitly unset. If it exports "ents": [], it means that entity annotations are available but that this document doesn't contain any entities. Before, this would have been unclear and problematic for training.

## Description
This PR adds the abilility to override custom extension attributes during merging. This will only work for attributes that are writable, i.e. attributes registered with a default value like `default=False` or attribute that have both a getter *and* a setter implemented.
```python
Token.set_extension('is_musician', default=False)
doc = nlp("I like David Bowie.")
with doc.retokenize() as retokenizer:
attrs = {"LEMMA": "David Bowie", "_": {"is_musician": True}}
retokenizer.merge(doc[2:4], attrs=attrs)
assert doc[2].text == "David Bowie"
assert doc[2].lemma_ == "David Bowie"
assert doc[2]._.is_musician
```

This PR adds a test for an untested case of `Span.get_lca_matrix`, and fixes a bug for that scenario, which I introduced in [this PR](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/pull/3089) (sorry!).
## Description
The previous implementation of get_lca_matrix was failing for the case `doc[j:k].get_lca_matrix()` where `j > 0`. A test has been added for this case and the bug has been fixed.
