This refactors decoders and search_strategies to use new interface calls best_k() and/or sample() instead of relying on the existence of a decoder.calc_log_probs() function.
For certain types of decoders computing the whole (log) distribution is computationally difficult or down right impossible. For example, hierarchical softmax, my morphological stuff, or the RNNG decoder with it's structured output actions.
