Initially span.as_doc() was designed to return a view of the span's contents, as a Doc object. This was a nice idea, but it fails due to the token.idx property, which refers to the character offset within the string. In a span, the idx of the first token might not be 0. Because this data is different, we can't have a view --- it'll be inconsistent.
This patch changes span.as_doc() to instead return a copy. The docs are updated accordingly. Closes#1537
* Update test for span.as_doc()
* Make span.as_doc() return a copy. Closes#1537
* Document change to Span.as_doc()
* Test on #2396: bug in Doc.get_lca_matrix()
* reimplementation of Doc.get_lca_matrix(), (closes#2396)
* reimplement Span.get_lca_matrix(), and call it from Doc.get_lca_matrix()
* tests Span.get_lca_matrix() as well as Doc.get_lca_matrix()
* implement _get_lca_matrix as a helper function in doc.pyx; call it from Doc.get_lca_matrix and Span.get_lca_matrix
* use memory view instead of np.ndarray in _get_lca_matrix (faster)
* fix bug when calling Span.get_lca_matrix; return lca matrix as np.array instead of memoryview
* cleaner conditional, add comment

Fixes#3027.
* Allow Span.__init__ to take unicode values for the `label` argument.
* Allow `Span.label_` to be writeable.
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [ ] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
* Add logic to filter out warning IDs via environment variable
Usage: SPACY_WARNING_EXCLUDE=W001,W007
* Add warnings for empty vectors
* Add warning if no word vectors are used in .similarity methods
For example, if only tensors are available in small models – should hopefully clear up some confusion around this
* Capture warnings in tests
* Rename SPACY_WARNING_EXCLUDE to SPACY_WARNING_IGNORE
* Add spacy.errors module
* Update deprecation and user warnings
* Replace errors and asserts with new error message system
* Remove redundant asserts
* Fix whitespace
* Add messages for print/util.prints statements
* Fix typo
* Fix typos
* Move CLI messages to spacy.cli._messages
* Add decorator to display error code with message
An implementation like this is nice because it only modifies the string when it's retrieved from the containing class – so we don't have to worry about manipulating tracebacks etc.
* Remove unused link in spacy.about
* Update errors for invalid pipeline components
* Improve error for unknown factories
* Add displaCy warnings
* Update formatting consistency
* Move error message to spacy.errors
* Update errors and check if doc returned by component is None
