OpenNMT: modular translation training and portable decoding

What changed

Built an open translation toolkit with modular attention/feature components, buffer-sharing optimizations, multi-GPU training and decoders for different runtime environments.

Scientific scope

Built an open translation toolkit with modular attention/feature components, buffer-sharing optimizations, multi-GPU training and decoders for different runtime environments. Original source describes the Torch-era toolkit, not all features of later OpenNMT implementations. Implements inherited sequence-to-sequence and attention methods. Affiliation symbols on the five-person front are not co-first markers.
