To avoid config errors during training when `[corpora.pretrain.path]` is
`None` with the default `spacy.JsonlCorpus.v1` reader, make the reader
path optional, similar to `spacy.Corpus.v1`.
* Support infinite generators for training corpora
Support a training corpus with an infinite generator in the `spacy
train` training loop:
* Revert `create_train_batches` to the state where an infinite generator
can be used as the in the first epoch of exactly one epoch without
resulting in a memory leak (`max_epochs != 1` will still result in a
memory leak)
* Move the shuffling for the first epoch into the corpus reader,
renaming it to `spacy.Corpus.v2`.
* Switch to training option for shuffling in memory
Training loop:
* Add option `training.shuffle_train_corpus_in_memory` that controls
whether the corpus is loaded in memory once and shuffled in the training
loop
* Revert changes to `create_train_batches` and rename to
`create_train_batches_with_shuffling` for use with `spacy.Corpus.v1` and
a corpus that should be loaded in memory
* Add `create_train_batches_without_shuffling` for a corpus that
should not be shuffled in the training loop: the corpus is merely
batched during training
Corpus readers:
* Restore `spacy.Corpus.v1`
* Add `spacy.ShuffledCorpus.v1` for a corpus shuffled in memory in the
reader instead of the training loop
* In combination with `shuffle_train_corpus_in_memory = False`, each
epoch could result in a different augmentation
* Refactor create_train_batches, validation
* Rename config setting to `training.shuffle_train_corpus`
* Refactor to use a single `create_train_batches` method with a
`shuffle` option
* Only validate `get_examples` in initialize step if:
* labels are required
* labels are not provided
* Switch back to max_epochs=-1 for streaming train corpus
* Use first 100 examples for stream train corpus init
* Always check validate_get_examples in initialize
* Support data augmentation in Corpus
* Note initial docs for data augmentation
* Add augmenter to quickstart
* Fix flake8
* Format
* Fix test
* Update spacy/tests/training/test_training.py
* Improve data augmentation arguments
* Update templates
* Move randomization out into caller
* Refactor

* Update spacy/tests/training/test_training.py
* Fix augment
* Fix test
* raise error if no valid Example objects were found during initialization
* fix max_length parameter
* remove commit from other branch
