<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. -->
When using `spacy pretrain`, the model is saved only after every epoch. But each epoch can be very big since `pretrain` is used for language modeling tasks. So I added a `--save-every` option in the CLI to save after every `--save-every` batches.
## Description
<!--- Use this section to describe your changes. If your changes required
testing, include information about the testing environment and the tests you
ran. If your test fixes a bug reported in an issue, don't forget to include the
issue number. If your PR is still a work in progress, that's totally fine – just
include a note to let us know. -->
To test...
Save this file to `sample_sents.jsonl`
```
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
```
Then run `--save-every 2` when pretraining.
```bash
spacy pretrain sample_sents.jsonl en_core_web_md here -nw 1 -bs 1 -i 10 --save-every 2
```
And it should save the model to the `here/` folder after every 2 batches. The models that are saved during an epoch will have a `.temp` appended to the save name.
At the end the training, you should see these files (`ls here/`):
```bash
config.json model2.bin model5.bin model8.bin
log.jsonl model2.temp.bin model5.temp.bin model8.temp.bin
model0.bin model3.bin model6.bin model9.bin
model0.temp.bin model3.temp.bin model6.temp.bin model9.temp.bin
model1.bin model4.bin model7.bin
model1.temp.bin model4.temp.bin model7.temp.bin
```

<!-- What type of change does your PR cover? Is it a bug fix, an enhancement
or new feature, or a change to the documentation? -->
This is a new feature to `spacy pretrain`.

* Try to implement cosine loss
This one seems to be correct? Still unsure, but it performs okay
* Try to implement the von Mises-Fisher loss
This one's definitely not right yet.
The new spacy pretrain command implemented BERT/ULMFit/etc-like transfer learning, using our Language Modelling with Approximate Outputs version of BERT's cloze task. Pretraining is convenient, but in some ways it's a bit of a strange solution. All we're doing is initialising the weights. At the same time, we're putting a lot of work into our optimisation so that it's less sensitive to initial conditions, and more likely to find good optima. I discuss this a bit in the pseudo-rehearsal blog post: https://explosion.ai/blog/pseudo-rehearsal-catastrophic-forgetting
Support semi-supervised learning in spacy train
One obvious way to improve these pretraining methods is to do multi-task learning, instead of just transfer learning. This has been shown to work very well: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.08370.pdf . This patch makes it easy to do this sort of thing.
Add a new argument to spacy train, --raw-text. This takes a jsonl file with unlabelled data that can be used in arbitrary ways to do semi-supervised learning.
Add a new method to the Language class and to pipeline components, .rehearse(). This is like .update(), but doesn't expect GoldParse objects. It takes a batch of Doc objects, and performs an update on some semi-supervised objective.
Move the BERT-LMAO objective out from spacy/cli/pretrain.py into spacy/_ml.py, so we can create a new pipeline component, ClozeMultitask. This can be specified as a parser or NER multitask in the spacy train command. Example usage:
python -m spacy train en ./tmp ~/data/en-core-web/train/nw.json ~/data/en-core-web/dev/nw.json --pipeline parser --raw-textt ~/data/unlabelled/reddit-100k.jsonl --vectors en_vectors_web_lg --parser-multitasks cloze
Implement rehearsal methods for pipeline components
The new --raw-text argument and nlp.rehearse() method also gives us a good place to implement the the idea in the pseudo-rehearsal blog post in the parser. This works as follows:
Add a new nlp.resume_training() method. This allocates copies of pre-trained models in the pipeline, setting things up for the rehearsal updates. It also returns an optimizer object. This also greatly reduces confusion around the nlp.begin_training() method, which randomises the weights, making it not suitable for adding new labels or otherwise fine-tuning a pre-trained model.
Implement rehearsal updates on the Parser class, making it available for the dependency parser and NER. During rehearsal, the initial model is used to supervise the model being trained. The current model is asked to match the predictions of the initial model on some data. This minimises catastrophic forgetting, by keeping the model's predictions close to the original. See the blog post for details.

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
* Add JSON schemas (see #2928)
* Deprecate Doc.print_tree
Will be replaced with Doc.to_json, which will produce a unified format
* Add Doc.to_json() method (see #2928)
Converts Doc objects to JSON using the same unified format as the training data. Method also supports serializing selected custom attributes in the doc._. space.
* Remove outdated test
* Add write_json and write_jsonl helpers
* WIP: Update spacy train
* Tidy up spacy train
* WIP: Use wasabi for formatting
* Add GoldParse helpers for JSON format
* WIP: add debug-data command
* Fix typo
* Add missing import
* Update wasabi pin
* Add missing import
* 💫 Refactor CLI (#2943)
To be merged into #2932.
## Description
- [x] refactor CLI To use [`wasabi`](https://github.com/ines/wasabi)
- [x] use [`black`](https://github.com/ambv/black) for auto-formatting
- [x] add `flake8` config
- [x] move all messy UD-related scripts to `cli.ud`
