Remove the non-working `--use-chars` option from the train CLI. The
implementation of the option across component types and the CLI settings
could be fixed, but the `CharacterEmbed` model does not work on GPU in
v2 so it's better to remove it.

* Allow Doc.char_span to snap to token boundaries
Add a `mode` option to allow `Doc.char_span` to snap to token
boundaries. The `mode` options:
* `strict`: character offsets must match token boundaries (default, same as
before)
* `inside`: all tokens completely within the character span
* `outside`: all tokens at least partially covered by the character span
Add a new helper function `token_by_char` that returns the token
corresponding to a character position in the text. Update
`token_by_start` and `token_by_end` to use `token_by_char` for more
efficient searching.
* Remove unused import
* Rename mode to alignment_mode
Rename `mode` to `alignment_mode` with the options
`strict`/`contract`/`expand`. Any unrecognized modes are silently
converted to `strict`.

Very minor fix in docs, specifically in this part:
```
matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab)
> for doc in matcher.pipe(texts, batch_size=50):
> pass
```
`texts` suggests the input is an iterable of strings. I replaced it for `docs`.
