advanced noam with decay and accum scheduler #1367

This PR introduces 2 things:

  1. noam with decay (decay_method="noamwd")
    When training on a lot of GPUs, the number of steps may be reduced (eg 50k) and you may want to decay faster the classic noam curve to a lower value.

  2. accum gradient scheduler
    When training on several GPUs, if you want a good performance you need a very high value of accum_count (eg 24 or more) but if you start training with such a huge batch size, it decreases the performance.
    accum_count can now take a list of values, eg '4 8 16' which corresponds to a list of steps at which accum_count changes '10000 20000 30000'

Enjoy.

here instead of looping every time shouldn't we update the accum_count_l list at each change so that all we need to check is step > accum_count_l[0]?

* advanced noam with decay and accum scheduler

Add phrase_table translation argument (OpenNMT#1370)

* Add phrase_table translation argument

If phrase_table is provided (with replace_unk), it will look up the identified source token and give the corresponding target token. If it is not provided (or the identified source token does not exist in the table), then it will copy the source token.

Fix OpenNMT#1454 .

* Clarify mixed precision training support (OpenNMT#1458)

Change the wording to avoid confusion. Mixed precision ensures both higher arithmetic throughput and numerical stability, not exactly synonymous to pure half-precision/FP16 training. Also add mentioning of tensor cores since older generation GPUs without tensor cores don't support true mixed precision training.

* Update requirements.opt.txt

* Update requirements.opt.txt

* Change map_location to be 'cpu' (OpenNMT#1461)

* Change map_location to be 'cpu'

If you are on a CPU-only machine, it will give an error otherwise. Model averaging should not require a GPU; moreover, it may be faster to use CPU rather than move all models to the GPU to average them.

* [fix] remove implicit check in preprocess

There were some implicit checks on `src_vocab` and `tgt_vocab` in preprocessing.
This was creating some unwanted behavior when loading an existing vocab as a text file.
