* Avoid `TrainablePipe.finish_update` getting called twice during training
PR #12136 fixed an issue where the tok2vec pipe was updated before
gradient were accumulated. However, it introduced a new bug that cause
`finish_update` to be called twice when using the training loop. This
causes a fairly large slowdown.
The `Language.update` method accepts the `sgd` argument for passing an
optimizer. This argument has three possible values:
- `Optimizer`: use the given optimizer to finish pipe updates.
- `None`: use a default optimizer to finish pipe updates.
- `False`: do not finish pipe updates.
However, the latter option was not documented and not valid with the
existing type of `sgd`. I assumed that this was a remnant of earlier
spaCy versions and removed handling of `False`.
However, with that change, we are passing `None` to `Language.update`.
As a result, we were calling `finish_update` in both `Language.update`
and in the training loop after all subbatches are processed.
This change restores proper handling/use of `False`. Moreover, the role
of `False` is now documented and added to the type to avoid future
accidents.

* Add `Language.distill`
This method is the distillation counterpart of `Language.update`. It
takes a teacher `Language` instance and distills the student pipes on
the teacher pipes.
* Apply suggestions from code review

* Clarify that how Example is used in distillation
* Update transition parser distill docstring for examples argument
* Pass optimizer to `TrainablePipe.distill`
* Annotate pipe before update
As discussed internally, we want to let a pipe annotate before doing an
update with gold/silver data. Otherwise, the output may be (too)
informed by the gold/silver data.
* Rename `component_map` to `student_to_teacher`
* Better synopsis in `Language.distill` docstring
* `name` -> `student_name`
* Fix labels type in docstring
