* Switch from mecab-python3 to fugashi
mecab-python3 has been the best MeCab binding for a long time but it's
not very actively maintained, and since it's based on old SWIG code
distributed with MeCab there's a limit to how effectively it can be
maintained.
Fugashi is a new Cython-based MeCab wrapper I wrote. Since it's not
based on the old SWIG code it's easier to keep it current and make small
deviations from the MeCab C/C++ API where that makes sense.
* Change mecab-python3 to fugashi in setup.cfg
* Change "mecab tags" to "unidic tags"
The tags come from MeCab, but the tag schema is specified by Unidic, so
it's more proper to refer to it that way.
* Update conftest
* Add fugashi link to external deps list for Japanese
Before this patch, half-width spaces between words were simply lost in
Japanese text. This wasn't immediately noticeable because much Japanese
text never uses spaces at all.
* Add xfail test for vocab.writing_system
* Add vocab.writing_system property
* Set Language.Defaults.writing_system
* Set default writing system
* Remove xfail on test_vocab_writing_system
<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. -->
## Description
- [x] Use [`black`](https://github.com/ambv/black) to auto-format all `.py` files.
- [x] Update flake8 config to exclude very large files (lemmatization tables etc.)
- [x] Update code to be compatible with flake8 rules
- [x] Fix various small bugs, inconsistencies and messy stuff in the language data
- [x] Update docs to explain new code style (`black`, `flake8`, when to use `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` and what `# noqa` means)
Once #2932 is merged, which auto-formats and tidies up the CLI, we'll be able to run `flake8 spacy` actually get meaningful results.
At the moment, the code style and linting isn't applied automatically, but I'm hoping that the new [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) will let us auto-format pull requests and post comments with relevant linting information.
### Types of change

## Checklist
<!--- Before you submit the PR, go over this checklist and make sure you can
tick off all the boxes. [] -> [x] -->
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
List created by taking the 2000 top words from a Wikipedia dump and
removing everything that wasn't hiragana.
Tried going through kanji words and deciding what to keep but there were
too many obvious non-stopwords (東京 was in the top 500) and many other
words where it wasn't clear if they should be included or not.
* Port Japanese mecab tokenizer from v1
This brings the Mecab-based Japanese tokenization introduced in #1246 to
spaCy v2. There isn't a JapaneseTagger implementation yet, but POS tag
information from Mecab is stored in a token extension. A tag map is also
included.
As a reminder, Mecab is required because Universal Dependencies are
based on Unidic tags, and Janome doesn't support Unidic.
Things to check:
1. Is this the right way to use a token extension?
2. What's the right way to implement a JapaneseTagger? The approach in
#1246 relied on `tag_from_strings` which is just gone now. I guess the
best thing is to just try training spaCy's default Tagger?
