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`).

* 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.

## 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
```

This PR adds a test for an untested case of `Span.get_lca_matrix`, and fixes a bug for that scenario, which I introduced in [this PR](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/pull/3089) (sorry!).
## Description
The previous implementation of get_lca_matrix was failing for the case `doc[j:k].get_lca_matrix()` where `j > 0`. A test has been added for this case and the bug has been fixed.

If doc.from_array() was called with say, only entity information, this
would cause doc.is_tagged to be set to False, even if tags were set.
This caused tags to be dropped from serialisation. The same was true for
doc.is_parsed.
Closes#3012.
Initially span.as_doc() was designed to return a view of the span's contents, as a Doc object. This was a nice idea, but it fails due to the token.idx property, which refers to the character offset within the string. In a span, the idx of the first token might not be 0. Because this data is different, we can't have a view --- it'll be inconsistent.
This patch changes span.as_doc() to instead return a copy. The docs are updated accordingly. Closes#1537
* Update test for span.as_doc()
* Make span.as_doc() return a copy. Closes#1537
* Document change to Span.as_doc()
The doc.retokenize() context manager wasn't resizing doc.tensor, leading to a mismatch between the number of tokens in the doc and the number of rows in the tensor. We fix this by deleting rows from the tensor. Merged spans are represented by the vector of their last token.
* Add test for resizing doc.tensor when merging
* Add test for resizing doc.tensor when merging. Closes#1963
* Update get_lca_matrix test for develop
* Fix retokenize if tensor unset
