Greek modifications to spaCy built-in functions

Currently, the Greek spaCy models have overwritten only like_num spaCy function which checks if a token represents a numerical expression.

The modifications include a check in a list of words that represent numerical expressions in Greek, a check whether the token represents a fraction or a check whether the token represents a power of a number.

In this way, we can catch expressions like the following:

​ δεκατέσσερις

​ εκατομμύριο
