* Speed up the StateC::L feature function
This function gets the n-th most-recent left-arc with a particular head.
Before this change, StateC::L would construct a vector of all left-arcs
with the given head and then pick the n-th most recent from that vector.
Since the number of left-arcs strongly correlates with the doc length
and the feature is constructed for every transition, this can make
transition-parsing quadratic.
With this change StateC::L:
- Searches left-arcs backwards.
- Stops early when the n-th matching transition is found.
- Does not construct a vector (reducing memory pressure).
This change doesn't avoid the linear search when the transition that is
queried does not occur in the left-arcs. Regardless, performance is
improved quite a bit with very long docs:
Before:
N Time
400 3.3
800 5.4
1600 11.6
3200 30.7
After:
N Time
400 3.2
800 5.0
1600 9.5
3200 23.2
We can probably do better with more tailored data structures, but I
first wanted to make a low-impact PR.
Found while investigating #9858.
* StateC::L: simplify loop
* Replace all basestring references with unicode
`basestring` was a compatability type introduced by Cython to make
dealing with utf-8 strings in Python2 easier. In Python3 it is
equivalent to the unicode (or str) type.
I replaced all references to basestring with unicode, since that was
used elsewhere, but we could also just replace them with str, which
shoudl also be equivalent.
All tests pass locally.
* Replace all references to unicode type with str
Since we only support python3 this is simpler.
* Remove all references to unicode type
This removes all references to the unicode type across the codebase and
replaces them with `str`, which makes it more drastic than the prior
commits. In order to make this work importing `unicode_literals` had to
be removed, and one explicit unicode literal also had to be removed (it
is unclear why this is necessary in Cython with language level 3, but
without doing it there were errors about implicit conversion).
When `unicode` is used as a type in comments it was also edited to be
`str`.
Additionally `coding: utf8` headers were removed from a few files.

* Refactor Docs.is_ flags
* Add derived `Doc.has_annotation` method
* `Doc.has_annotation(attr)` returns `True` for partial annotation
* `Doc.has_annotation(attr, require_complete=True)` returns `True` for
complete annotation
* Add deprecation warnings to `is_tagged`, `is_parsed`, `is_sentenced`
and `is_nered`
* Add `Doc._get_array_attrs()`, which returns a full list of `Doc` attrs
for use with `Doc.to_array`, `Doc.to_bytes` and `Doc.from_docs`. The
list is the `DocBin` attributes list plus `SPACY` and `LENGTH`.
Notes on `Doc.has_annotation`:
* `HEAD` is converted to `DEP` because heads don't have an unset state
* Accept `IS_SENT_START` as a synonym of `SENT_START`
Additional changes:
* Add `NORM`, `ENT_ID` and `SENT_START` to default attributes for
`DocBin`
* In `Doc.from_array()` the presence of `DEP` causes `HEAD` to override
`SENT_START`
* In `Doc.from_array()` using `attrs` other than
`Doc._get_array_attrs()` (i.e., a user's custom list rather than our
default internal list) with both `HEAD` and `SENT_START` shows a warning
that `HEAD` will override `SENT_START`
* `set_children_from_heads` does not require dependency labels to set
sentence boundaries and sets `sent_start` for all non-sentence starts to
`-1`
* Fix call to set_children_form_heads

* Clean up spacy.tokens
* Update `set_children_from_heads`:
* Don't check `dep` when setting lr_* or sentence starts
* Set all non-sentence starts to `False`
* Use `set_children_from_heads` in `Token.head` setter
* Reduce similar/duplicate code (admittedly adds a bit of overhead)
* Update sentence starts consistently
* Remove unused `Doc.set_parse`
* Minor changes:
* Declare cython variables (to avoid cython warnings)
* Clean up imports
* Modify set_children_from_heads to set token range
Modify `set_children_from_heads` so that it adjust tokens within a
specified range rather then the whole document.
Modify the `Token.head` setter to adjust only the tokens affected by the
new head assignment.
Follow-ups to the parser efficiency fix.
* Avoid introducing new counter for number of pushes
* Base cut on number of transitions, keeping it more even
* Reintroduce the randomization we had in v2.
The parser training makes use of a trick for long documents, where we
use the oracle to cut up the document into sections, so that we can have
batch items in the middle of a document. For instance, if we have one
document of 600 words, we might make 6 states, starting at words 0, 100,
200, 300, 400 and 500.
The problem is for v3, I screwed this up and didn't stop parsing! So
instead of a batch of [100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100], we'd have a batch
of [600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100]. Oops.
The implementation here could probably be improved, it's annoying to
have this extra variable in the state. But this'll do.
This makes the v3 parser training 5-10 times faster, depending on document
lengths. This problem wasn't in v2.
