      public class TextProfileSignature
      extends Signature

  An implementation of a page signature. It calculates an MD5 hash of a plain text "profile" of a page. In case there is no text, it calculates a hash using the `MD5Signature`.

  The algorithm to calculate a page "profile" takes the plain text version of a page and performs the following steps:

  - remove all characters except letters and digits, and bring all characters to lower case,
  - split the text into tokens (all consecutive non-whitespace characters),
  - discard tokens equal or shorter than MIN_TOKEN_LEN (default 2 characters),
  - sort the list of tokens by decreasing frequency,
  - round down the counts of tokens to the nearest multiple of QUANT ( `QUANT = QUANT_RATE * maxFreq`, where `QUANT_RATE` is 0.01f by default, and `maxFreq` is the maximum token frequency). If `maxFreq` is higher than 1, then QUANT is always higher than 2 (which means that tokens with frequency 1 are always discarded).
  - tokens, which frequency after quantization falls below QUANT, are discarded.
  - create a list of tokens and their quantized frequency, separated by spaces, in the order of decreasing frequency.
  This list is then submitted to an MD5 hash calculation.
