Add a context manage nlp.memory_zone(), which will begin
memory_zone() blocks on the vocab, string store, and potentially
other components.
Example usage:
```
with nlp.memory_zone():
for text in nlp.pipe(texts):
do_something(doc)
# do_something(doc) <-- Invalid
```
Once the memory_zone() block expires, spaCy will free any shared
resources that were allocated for the text-processing that occurred
within the memory_zone. If you create Doc objects within a memory
zone, it's invalid to access them once the memory zone is expired.
The purpose of this is that spaCy creates and stores Lexeme objects
in the Vocab that can be shared between multiple Doc objects. It also
interns strings. Normally, spaCy can't know when all Doc objects using
a Lexeme are out-of-scope, so new Lexemes accumulate in the vocab,
causing memory pressure.
Memory zones solve this problem by telling spaCy "okay none of the
documents allocated within this block will be accessed again". This
lets spaCy free all new Lexeme objects and other data that were
created during the block.
The mechanism is general, so memory_zone() context managers can be
added to other components that could benefit from them, e.g. pipeline
components.
I experimented with adding memory zone support to the tokenizer as well,
for its cache. However, this seems unnecessarily complicated. It makes
more sense to just stick a limit on the cache size. This lets spaCy
benefit from the efficiency advantage of the cache better, because
we can maintain a (bounded) cache even if only small batches of
documents are being processed.

The 'direct' option in 'spacy download' is supposed to only download from our model releases repository. However, users were able to pass in a relative path, allowing download from arbitrary repositories. This meant that a service that sourced strings from user input and which used the direct option would allow users to install arbitrary packages.
* TextCatParametricAttention.v1: set key transform dimensions
This is necessary for tok2vec implementations that initialize
lazily (e.g. curated transformers).
* Add lazily-initialized tok2vec to simulate transformers
Add a lazily-initialized tok2vec to the tests and test the current
textcat models with it.
Fix some additional issues found using this test.
* isort
* Add `test.` prefix to `LazyInitTok2Vec.v1`
The doc/token extension serialization tests add extensions that are not
serializable with pickle. This didn't cause issues before due to the
implicit run order of tests. However, test ordering has changed with
pytest 8.0.0, leading to failed tests in test_language.
Update the fixtures in the extension serialization tests to do proper
teardown and remove the extensions.
macOS now uses port 5000 for the AirPlay receiver functionality, so this
test will always fail on a macOS desktop (unless AirPlay receiver
functionality is disabled like in CI).
Before this change, the workers of pipe call with n_process != 1 were
stopped by calling `terminate` on the processes. However, terminating a
process can leave queues, pipes, and other concurrent data structures in
an invalid state.
With this change, we stop using terminate and take the following approach
instead:
* When the all documents are processed, the parent process puts a
sentinel in the queue of each worker.
* The parent process then calls `join` on each worker process to
let them finish up gracefully.
* Worker processes break from the queue processing loop when the
sentinel is encountered, so that they exit.
We need special handling when one of the workers encounters an error and
the error handler is set to raise an exception. In this case, we cannot
rely on the sentinel to finish all workers -- the queue is a FIFO queue
and there may be other work queued up before the sentinel. We use the
following approach to handle error scenarios:
* The parent puts the end-of-work sentinel in the queue of each worker.
* The parent closes the reading-end of the channel of each worker.
* Then:
- If the worker was waiting for work, it will encounter the sentinel
and break from the processing loop.
- If the worker was processing a batch, it will attempt to write
results to the channel. This will fail because the channel was
closed by the parent and the worker will break from the processing
loop.
* Add spacy.TextCatParametricAttention.v1
This layer provides is a simplification of the ensemble classifier that
only uses paramteric attention. We have found empirically that with a
sufficient amount of training data, using the ensemble classifier with
BoW does not provide significant improvement in classifier accuracy.
However, plugging in a BoW classifier does reduce GPU training and
inference performance substantially, since it uses a GPU-only kernel.
* Fix merge fallout
* Add TextCatReduce.v1
This is a textcat classifier that pools the vectors generated by a
tok2vec implementation and then applies a classifier to the pooled
representation. Three reductions are supported for pooling: first, max,
and mean. When multiple reductions are enabled, the reductions are
concatenated before providing them to the classification layer.
This model is a generalization of the TextCatCNN model, which only
supports mean reductions and is a bit of a misnomer, because it can also
be used with transformers. This change also reimplements TextCatCNN.v2
using the new TextCatReduce.v1 layer.

* Update `TextCatBOW` to use the fixed `SparseLinear` layer
A while ago, we fixed the `SparseLinear` layer to use all available
parameters: https://github.com/explosion/thinc/pull/754
This change updates `TextCatBOW` to `v3` which uses the new
`SparseLinear_v2` layer. This results in a sizeable improvement on a
text categorization task that was tested.
While at it, this `spacy.TextCatBOW.v3` also adds the `length_exponent`
option to make it possible to change the hidden size. Ideally, we'd just
have an option called `length`. But the way that `TextCatBOW` uses
hashes results in a non-uniform distribution of parameters when the
length is not a power of two.
* Replace TexCatBOW `length_exponent` parameter by `length`
We now round up the length to the next power of two if it isn't
a power of two.
