Track token scores (#571)

* add export of per-token scores (ys, lm, context)

- for best path of the modified-beam-search decoding of transducer

* refactoring JSON export of OnlineRecognitionResult, extending pybind11 API of OnlineRecognitionResult

* export per-token scores also for greedy-search (online-transducer)

- export un-scaled lm_probs (modified-beam search, online-transducer)
- polishing

* fill lm_probs/context_scores only if LM/ContextGraph is present (make Result smaller)
