This PR is an attempt to optimize the calculation of the ambiguity feature in MLLM. In cases of extremely many matches, the ambiguity calculation can take a long time, as reported by @RietdorfC in #822.
This PR changes the calculation so that it will first group together TokenSets with the same tokens; for example, all concepts with the same (or very similar) label can be considered together instead of calculating ambiguity for each of them separately. Due to the quadratic nature of the ambiguity calculation (it's O(N^2) where N is the number of matches found in a piece of text), reducing N by grouping TokenSets may reduce the amount of necessary comparisons quite drastically.
I'm leaving this as a draft PR because this needs to be tested further. I'm not yet 100% sure that the calculation result matches the original.
Closes #822
