To fix the slow tokenizer URL (#4374) and allow `token_match` to take
priority over prefixes and suffixes by default, introduce a new
tokenizer option for a token match pattern that's applied after prefixes
and suffixes but before infixes.
* Expose tokenizer rules as a property
Expose the tokenizer rules property in the same way as the other core
properties. (The cache resetting is overkill, but consistent with
`from_bytes` for now.)
Add tests and update Tokenizer API docs.
* Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string
Update Hungarian punctuation definitions so that `_units` does not match
an empty string.
* Use _load_special_tokenization consistently
Use `_load_special_tokenization()` and have it to handle `None` checks.
* Fix precedence of `token_match` vs. special cases
Remove `token_match` check from `_split_affixes()` so that special cases
have precedence over `token_match`. `token_match` is checked only before
infixes are split.
* Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer
Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer as a working implementation of
the pseudo-code in the docs.
Add a test (marked as slow) that checks that `nlp.tokenizer()` and
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` return the same non-whitespace tokens
for all languages that have `examples.sentences` that can be imported.
* Update tokenization usage docs
Update pseudo-code and algorithm description to correspond to
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` with example debugging usage.
Add more examples for customizing tokenizers while preserving the
existing defaults.
Minor edits / clarifications.
* Revert "Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string"
This reverts commit f0a577f7a5.
* Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`
Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`, which returns a list of
`(pattern_string, token_string)` tuples rather than a non-standard
`Doc`. Update docs and tests accordingly, leaving the visualization for
future work.
* Handle cases with bad tokenizer patterns
Detect when tokenizer patterns match empty prefixes and suffixes so that
`explain()` does not hang on bad patterns.
* Remove unused displacy image
* Add tokenizer.explain() to usage docs
* Update tokenizer.md for construction example
Self contained example. You should really say what nlp is so that the example will work as is
* Update CONTRIBUTOR_AGREEMENT.md
* Restore contributor agreement
* Adjust construction examples
* Make serialization methods consistent
exclude keyword argument instead of random named keyword arguments and deprecation handling
* Update docs and add section on serialization fields

## Description
The new website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. Hopefully, this update will also make it much easier to contribute to the docs. Once this PR is merged, I'll implement auto-deployment via [Netlify](https://netlify.com) on a specific branch (to avoid building the website on every PR). There's a bunch of other cool stuff that the new setup will allow us to do – including writing front-end tests, service workers, offline support, implementing a search and so on.
This PR also includes various new docs pages and content.
