Remove hacks and wrappers, keep code in sync across our libraries and move spaCy a few steps closer to only depending on packages with binary wheels 🎉
See here: https://github.com/explosion/srsly
Serialization is hard, especially across Python versions and multiple platforms. After dealing with many subtle bugs over the years (encodings, locales, large files) our libraries like spaCy and Prodigy have steadily grown a number of utility functions to wrap the multiple serialization formats we need to support (especially json, msgpack and pickle). These wrapping functions ended up duplicated across our codebases, so we wanted to put them in one place.
At the same time, we noticed that having a lot of small dependencies was making maintainence harder, and making installation slower. To solve this, we've made srsly standalone, by including the component packages directly within it. This way we can provide all the serialization utilities we need in a single binary wheel.
srsly currently includes forks of the following packages:
ujson
msgpack
msgpack-numpy
cloudpickle
* WIP: replace json/ujson with srsly
* Replace ujson in examples
Use regular json instead of srsly to make code easier to read and follow
* Update requirements
* Fix imports
* Fix typos
* Replace msgpack with srsly
* Fix warning
* Support nowrap setting in util.prints
* Tidy up and fix whitespace
* Simplify script and use read_jsonl helper

To be merged into #2932.
## Description
- [x] refactor CLI To use [`wasabi`](https://github.com/ines/wasabi)

## 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.

Our epic matrix multiplication odyssey is drawing to a close...
I've now finally got the Blis linear algebra routines in a self-contained Python package, with wheels for Windows, Linux and OSX. The only missing platform at the moment is Windows Python 2.7. The result is at https://github.com/explosion/cython-blis
Thinc v7.0.0 will make the change to Blis. I've put a Thinc v7.0.0.dev0 up on PyPi so that we can test these changes with the CI, and even get them out to spacy-nightly, before Thinc v7.0.0 is released. This PR also updates the other dependencies to be in line with the current versions master is using. I've also resolved the msgpack deprecation problems, and gotten spaCy and Thinc up to date with the latest Cython.
The point of switching to Blis is to have control of how our matrix multiplications are executed across platforms. When we were using numpy for this, a different library would be used on pip and conda, OSX would use Accelerate, etc. This would open up different bugs and performance problems, especially when multi-threading was introduced.
With the change to Blis, we now strictly single-thread the matrix multiplications. This will make it much easier to use multiprocessing to parallelise the runtime, since we won't have nested parallelism problems to deal with.
* Use blis
* Use -2 arg to Cython
* Update dependencies
* Fix requirements
* Update setup dependencies
* Fix requirement typo
* Fix msgpack errors
* Remove Python27 test from Appveyor, until Blis works there
* Auto-format setup.py
* Fix murmurhash version
* Add helper function for reading in JSONL
* Add rule-based NER component
* Fix whitespace
* Add component to factories
* Add tests
* Add option to disable indent on json_dumps compat
Otherwise, reading JSONL back in line by line won't work
* Fix error code

* Add spacy.errors module
* Update deprecation and user warnings

* Remove redundant asserts
* Fix whitespace
* Add messages for print/util.prints statements
* Fix typo
* Fix typos
* Move CLI messages to spacy.cli._messages

An implementation like this is nice because it only modifies the string when it's retrieved from the containing class – so we don't have to worry about manipulating tracebacks etc.
* Remove unused link in spacy.about
* Update errors for invalid pipeline components
* Improve error for unknown factories
* Add displaCy warnings
* Update formatting consistency
* Move error message to spacy.errors

This patch does a few smallish things that tighten up the training workflow a little, and allow memory use during training to be reduced by letting the GoldCorpus stream data properly.
Previously, the parser and entity recognizer read and saved labels as lists, with extra labels noted separately. Lists were used becaue ordering is very important, to ensure that the label-to-class mapping is stable.
We now manage labels as nested dictionaries, first keyed by the action, and then keyed by the label. Values are frequencies. The trick is, how do we save new labels? We need to make sure we iterate over these in the same order they're added. Otherwise, we'll get different class IDs, and the model's predictions won't make sense.
To allow stable sorting, we map the new labels to negative values. If we have two new labels, they'll be noted as having "frequency" -1 and -2. The next new label will then have "frequency" -3. When we sort by (frequency, label), we then get a stable sort.
Storing frequencies then allows us to make the next nice improvement. Previously we had to iterate over the whole training set, to pre-process it for the deprojectivisation. This led to storing the whole training set in memory. This was most of the required memory during training.
To prevent this, we now store the frequencies as we stream in the data, and deprojectivize as we go. Once we've built the frequencies, we can then apply a frequency cut-off when we decide how many classes to make.
Finally, to allow proper data streaming, we also have to have some way of shuffling the iterator. This is awkward if the training files have multiple documents in them. To solve this, the GoldCorpus class now writes the training data to disk in msgpack files, one per document. We can then shuffle the data by shuffling the paths.
