Improve label management in parser and NER (#2108)
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.

This is a squash merge, as I made a lot of very small commits. Individual commit messages below.
