## 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
```

## Description
The new website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. Hopefully, this update will also make it much easier to contribute to the docs. Once this PR is merged, I'll implement auto-deployment via [Netlify](https://netlify.com) on a specific branch (to avoid building the website on every PR). There's a bunch of other cool stuff that the new setup will allow us to do – including writing front-end tests, service workers, offline support, implementing a search and so on.
This PR also includes various new docs pages and content.
Resolves#3270. Resolves#3222. Resolves#2947. Resolves#2837.
