* Added support for Albert when fine-tuning for NER

* Added support for Albert in NER pipeline

* Added command-line options to examples/ner/run_ner.py to better control tokenization

* Added class AlbertForTokenClassification

* Changed output for NerPipeline to use .convert_ids_to_tokens(...) instead of .decode(...) to better reflect tokens
