ASReview multilingual feature extractor

This extension to ASReview implements a multilingual feature extractor algorithm. This algorithm allows for the usage of records in multiple languages. These languages are:

Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish.

The extension implements sentence-transformers/distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v1. This is a sentence-transformers model and maps sentences to a 512 dimensional dense vector space and is multilingual. For more information about the feature extraction method, see

Reimers, N., & Gurevych, I. (2019). Sentence-BERT: Sentence Embeddings using Siamese BERT-Networks. ArXiv, abs/1908.10084. https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10084
