v1.0.0a1: Update sense2vec for spaCy v2.1.x or standalone use

⚠️ This is an alpha release and not yet ready for production. You can download sense2vec via pip by specifying the exact version.

pip install sense2vec==1.0.0a1

Note that the library doesn't depend on spaCy anymore, so you might have to install spaCy and the English model separately. The Reddit vectors (trained on all comments of 2015) are attached to this release as a .tar.gz file. For more details and usage instructions, see the README.
