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
```
### Types of change
<!-- 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`.
🌵 **Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test this because compiling from source is not working (cythonize error).**

## Checklist
<!--- Before you submit the PR, go over this checklist and make sure you can
tick off all the boxes. [] -> [x] -->
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
* fix(util): fix decaying function output
* fix(util): better test and adhere to code standards
* fix(util): correct variable name, pytestify test, update website text
* Fix code for bag-of-words feature extraction
The _ml.py module had a redundant copy of a function to extract unigram
bag-of-words features, except one had a bug that set values to 0.
Another function allowed extraction of bigram features. Replace all three
with a new function that supports arbitrary ngram sizes and also allows
control of which attribute is used (e.g. ORTH, LOWER, etc).
* Support 'bow' architecture for TextCategorizer
This allows efficient ngram bag-of-words models, which are better when
the classifier needs to run quickly, especially when the texts are long.
Pass architecture="bow" to use it. The extra arguments ngram_size and
attr are also available, e.g. ngram_size=2 means unigram and bigram
features will be extracted.
* Fix size limits in train_textcat example
* Explain architectures better in docs
Add and document CLI options for batch size, max doc length, min doc length for `spacy pretrain`.
Also improve CLI output.
Closes#3216

* Add component_cfg kwarg to begin_training
* Document component_cfg arg to begin_training
* Update docs and auto-format
* Support component_cfg across Language
* Format
* Update docs and docstrings [ci skip]
* Fix begin_training
* 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.
