Use bst_float consistently throughout (#1824)

Browse Source 
* Fix various typos

* Add override to functions that are overridden

gcc gives warnings about functions that are being overridden by not
being marked as oveirridden. This fixes it.

* Use bst_float consistently

Use bst_float for all the variables that involve weight,
leaf value, gradient, hessian, gain, loss_chg, predictions,
base_margin, feature values.

In some cases, when due to additions and so on the value can
take a larger value, double is used.

This ensures that type conversions are minimal and reduces loss of
precision.

* Do you use other shells than `bash` and install from `pip`? In some old version of pip installation, the shell script used `pushd` for changing directory and triggering the build process, which may failed some shells without `pushd` command.
