When using `spacy pretrain`, the model is saved only after every epoch. But each epoch can be very big since `pretrain` is used for language modeling tasks. So I added a `--save-every` option in the CLI to save after every `--save-every` batches.
## Description
<!--- Use this section to describe your changes. If your changes required
testing, include information about the testing environment and the tests you
ran. If your test fixes a bug reported in an issue, don't forget to include the
issue number. If your PR is still a work in progress, that's totally fine – just
include a note to let us know. -->
To test...
Save this file to `sample_sents.jsonl`
```
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
{"text": "hello there."}
```
Then run `--save-every 2` when pretraining.
```bash
spacy pretrain sample_sents.jsonl en_core_web_md here -nw 1 -bs 1 -i 10 --save-every 2
```
And it should save the model to the `here/` folder after every 2 batches. The models that are saved during an epoch will have a `.temp` appended to the save name.
At the end the training, you should see these files (`ls here/`):
```bash
config.json model2.bin model5.bin model8.bin
log.jsonl model2.temp.bin model5.temp.bin model8.temp.bin
model0.bin model3.bin model6.bin model9.bin
model0.temp.bin model3.temp.bin model6.temp.bin model9.temp.bin
model1.bin model4.bin model7.bin
model1.temp.bin model4.temp.bin model7.temp.bin
```
### Types of change
<!-- What type of change does your PR cover? Is it a bug fix, an enhancement
or new feature, or a change to the documentation? -->
This is a new feature to `spacy pretrain`.
🌵 **Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test this because compiling from source is not working (cythonize error).**

## Checklist
<!--- Before you submit the PR, go over this checklist and make sure you can
tick off all the boxes. [] -> [x] -->
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
* fix(util): fix decaying function output
* fix(util): better test and adhere to code standards
* fix(util): correct variable name, pytestify test, update website text
* Fix code for bag-of-words feature extraction
The _ml.py module had a redundant copy of a function to extract unigram
bag-of-words features, except one had a bug that set values to 0.
Another function allowed extraction of bigram features. Replace all three
with a new function that supports arbitrary ngram sizes and also allows
control of which attribute is used (e.g. ORTH, LOWER, etc).
* Support 'bow' architecture for TextCategorizer
This allows efficient ngram bag-of-words models, which are better when
the classifier needs to run quickly, especially when the texts are long.
Pass architecture="bow" to use it. The extra arguments ngram_size and
attr are also available, e.g. ngram_size=2 means unigram and bigram
features will be extracted.
* Fix size limits in train_textcat example
* Explain architectures better in docs
Add and document CLI options for batch size, max doc length, min doc length for `spacy pretrain`.
Also improve CLI output.
Closes#3216

* Add component_cfg kwarg to begin_training
* Document component_cfg arg to begin_training
* Update docs and auto-format
* Support component_cfg across Language
* Format
* Update docs and docstrings [ci skip]
* Fix begin_training
* Make serialization methods consistent
exclude keyword argument instead of random named keyword arguments and deprecation handling
* Update docs and add section on serialization fields
* Use default return instead of else
* Add Doc.is_nered to indicate if entities have been set
* Add properties in Doc.to_json if they were set, not if they're available
This way, if a processed Doc exports "pos": None, it means that the tag was explicitly unset. If it exports "ents": [], it means that entity annotations are available but that this document doesn't contain any entities. Before, this would have been unclear and problematic for training.

## Description
* tidy up and adjust Cython code to code style
* improve docstrings and make calling `help()` nicer
* add URLs to new docs pages to docstrings wherever possible, mostly to user-facing objects
* fix various typos and inconsistencies in docs

* Improve handling of missing NER tags
GoldParse can accept missing NER tags, if entities is provided
in BILUO format (rather than as spans). Missing tags can be provided
as None values.
Fix bug that occurred when first tag was a None value. Closes#2603.
* Document specification of missing NER tags.

## Description
This PR adds the abilility to override custom extension attributes during merging. This will only work for attributes that are writable, i.e. attributes registered with a default value like `default=False` or attribute that have both a getter *and* a setter implemented.
```python
Token.set_extension('is_musician', default=False)
doc = nlp("I like David Bowie.")
with doc.retokenize() as retokenizer:
attrs = {"LEMMA": "David Bowie", "_": {"is_musician": True}}
retokenizer.merge(doc[2:4], attrs=attrs)
assert doc[2].text == "David Bowie"
assert doc[2].lemma_ == "David Bowie"
assert doc[2]._.is_musician
```

## 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.
Resolves#3270. Resolves#3222. Resolves#2947. Resolves#2837.
