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.

Resolves#2924.
## Description
Fixes problem where multiple visualizations in Jupyter notebooks would have clashing arc IDs, resulting in weirdly positioned arc labels. Generating a random ID prefix so even identical parses won't receive the same IDs for consistency (even if effect of ID clash isn't noticable here.)
