* Support match alignments
* change naming from match_alignments to with_alignments, add conditional flow if with_alignments is given, validate with_alignments, add related test case
* remove added errors, utilize bint type, cleanup whitespace
* fix no new line in end of file
* Minor formatting
* Skip alignments processing if as_spans is set
* Add with_alignments to Matcher API docs
* Update website/docs/api/matcher.md

* add "greedy" option for match pattern
* distinction between greedy FIRST or LONGEST
* check for proper values, throw custom warning otherwise
* unxfail one more test
* add comment in docstring
* add test that LONGEST also prefers first match if equal length
* use c arrays for more efficient processing
* rename 'greediness' to 'greedy'
* Implement new API for {Phrase}Matcher.add (backwards-compatible)
* Update docs
* Also update DependencyMatcher.add
* Update internals
* Rewrite tests to use new API
* Add basic check for common mistake
Raise error with suggestion if user likely passed in a pattern instead of a list of patterns
* Fix typo [ci skip]
* Auto-format tests with black
* Add flake8 config
* Tidy up and remove unused imports
* Fix redefinitions of test functions
* Replace orths_and_spaces with words and spaces
* Fix compatibility with pytest 4.0

Test was previously overwritten by following test due to naming conflict, so failure wasn't reported
* Unfail passing test
* Only use fixture via arguments
Fixes pytest 4.0 compatibility
## Description
Related issues: #2379 (should be fixed by separating model tests)
* **total execution time down from > 300 seconds to under 60 seconds** 🎉
* removed all model-specific tests that could only really be run manually anyway – those will now live in a separate test suite in the [`spacy-models`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models) repository and are already integrated into our new model training infrastructure
* changed all relative imports to absolute imports to prepare for moving the test suite from `/spacy/tests` to `/tests` (it'll now always test against the installed version)
* merged old regression tests into collections, e.g. `test_issue1001-1500.py` (about 90% of the regression tests are very short anyways)
* tidied up and rewrote existing tests wherever possible
### Todo
- [ ] move tests to `/tests` and adjust CI commands accordingly
- [x] move model test suite from internal repo to `spacy-models`
- [x] ~~investigate why `pipeline/test_textcat.py` is flakey~~
- [x] review old regression tests (leftover files) and see if they can be merged, simplified or deleted
- [ ] update documentation on how to run tests
### Types of change
enhancement, tests
