Handle tokenizer special cases more generally by using the Matcher
internally to match special cases after the affix/token_match
tokenization is complete.
Instead of only matching special cases while processing balanced or
nearly balanced prefixes and suffixes, this recognizes special cases in
a wider range of contexts:
* Allows arbitrary numbers of prefixes/affixes around special cases
* Allows special cases separated by infixes
Existing tests/settings that couldn't be preserved as before:
* The emoticon '")' is no longer a supported special case
* The emoticon ':)' in "example:)" is a false positive again
When merged with #4258 (or the relevant cache bugfix), the affix and
token_match properties should be modified to flush and reload all
special cases to use the updated internal tokenization with the Matcher.

## Description
Related issues: #2379 (should be fixed by separating model tests)
* **total execution time down from > 300 seconds to under 60 seconds** 🎉
* removed all model-specific tests that could only really be run manually anyway – those will now live in a separate test suite in the [`spacy-models`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models) repository and are already integrated into our new model training infrastructure
* changed all relative imports to absolute imports to prepare for moving the test suite from `/spacy/tests` to `/tests` (it'll now always test against the installed version)
* merged old regression tests into collections, e.g. `test_issue1001-1500.py` (about 90% of the regression tests are very short anyways)
* tidied up and rewrote existing tests wherever possible
### Todo
- [ ] move tests to `/tests` and adjust CI commands accordingly
- [x] move model test suite from internal repo to `spacy-models`
- [x] ~~investigate why `pipeline/test_textcat.py` is flakey~~
- [x] review old regression tests (leftover files) and see if they can be merged, simplified or deleted
- [ ] update documentation on how to run tests
### Types of change
enhancement, tests
