Shashank Gupta 3dcb748e31 Added data collator for permutation (XLNet) language modeling and related calls (#5522) ...

* Added data collator for XLNet language modeling and related calls

Added DataCollatorForXLNetLanguageModeling in data/data_collator.py
to generate necessary inputs for language modeling training with
XLNetLMHeadModel. Also added related arguments, logic and calls in
examples/language-modeling/run_language_modeling.py.

Resolves: #4739, #2008 (partially)

* Changed name to `DataCollatorForPermutationLanguageModeling`

Changed the name of `DataCollatorForXLNetLanguageModeling` to the more general `DataCollatorForPermutationLanguageModelling`.
Removed the `--mlm` flag requirement for the new collator and defined a separate `--plm_probability` flag for its use.
CTRL uses a CLM loss just like GPT and GPT-2, so should work out of the box with this script (provided `past` is taken care of
similar to `mems` for XLNet).
Changed calls and imports appropriately.

* Added detailed comments, changed variable names

Added more detailed comments to `DataCollatorForPermutationLanguageModeling` in `data/data_collator.py` to explain working. Also cleaned up variable names and made them more informative.

* Added tests for new data collator

Added tests in `tests/test_trainer.py` for DataCollatorForPermutationLanguageModeling based on those in DataCollatorForLanguageModeling. A specific test has been added to check for odd-length sequences.

* Fixed styling issues
