Clearing self.words before saving model #14

I don't get the point of clearing self.words before saving the CorEx model considering most people load the model to use .get_topics() and clearing self.words basically makes the function useless for prediction purposes

I believe it was a workaround for some type of pickling bug for certain text encodings. If we went fully python3 I'm sure this would not be necessary.
