* 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.

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.
