I wrote a small script to read the UD English training data and check
that our tag map and morph rules were resulting in the best POS map.
This hadn't been done for some time, and there have been various changes
to the UD schema since it has been done. After these changes we should
see much better agreement between our POS assignments and the UD POS
tags.
While developing v2.1, I ran a bunch of hyper-parameter search
experiments to find settings that performed well for spaCy's NER and
parser. I ended up changing the default Adam settings from beta1=0.9,
beta2=0.999, eps=1e-8 to beta1=0.8, beta2=0.8, eps=1e-5. This was giving
a small improvement in accuracy (like, 0.4%).
Months later, I run the models with Prodigy, which uses beam-search
decoding even when the model has been trained with a greedy objective.
The new models performed terribly...So, wtf? After a couple of days
debugging, I figured out that the new optimizer settings was causing the
model to converge to solutions where the top-scoring class often had
a score of like, -80. The variance on the weights had gone up
enormously. I guess I needed to update the L2 regularisation as well?
Anyway. Let's just revert the change --- if the optimizer is finding
such extreme solutions, that seems bad, and not nearly worth the small
improvement in accuracy.
Currently training a slate of models, to verify the accuracy change is minimal.
Once the training is complete, we can merge this.

## Description
With the new `vocab.writing_system` property introduced in #3390 (exposed via the language defaults), I was able to finally fix this (I think!). Based on the `Doc`, dispaCy now detects whether it's a RTL or LTR language and adjusts the visualization accordingly. Wherever possible, I've also added `direction` and `lang` attributes.
Entity visualization now looks like this:

And dependencies like this (ignore the most likely incorrect tags and dependencies):

* Remove xfail on test_vocab_writing_system
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`).

* Add component_cfg kwarg to begin_training
* Document component_cfg arg to begin_training
* Update docs and auto-format
* Support component_cfg across Language
* Format
* Update docs and docstrings [ci skip]
* Fix begin_training
* 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.

* Improve handling of missing NER tags
GoldParse can accept missing NER tags, if entities is provided
in BILUO format (rather than as spans). Missing tags can be provided
as None values.
Fix bug that occurred when first tag was a None value. Closes#2603.
* Document specification of missing NER tags.
* Classes for Ukrainian; small fix in Russian.
* Contributor agreement
* pymorphy2 initialization split for ru and uk (#3327)
* stop-words fixed
* Unit-tests updated

## 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
```

* Keep TextCategorizer default model same as v2.0
* Add option 'architecture' that allows "simple_cnn" to switch to
simpler model.

the model treats classes as mutually exclusive, i.e. only one class can
be true per instance.
