Stand-alone C++ decoder for RNN-based NMT models. Can decode with default models from Marian and Nematus.

This tool was a part of Marian, which now has its own decoder. Therefore, amun has been moved to a separate repository. For RNN models this decoder can still be faster on the GPU than the official Marian decoder.
