* Fix syncing DMatrix columns.
* notes for tree method.
* Enable feature validation for all interfaces except for jvm.
* Better tests for boosting from predictions.
* Disable validation on JVM.
* Disable parameter validation for now.
Scikit-Learn passes all parameters down to XGBoost, whether they are used or
not.
* Add option `validate_parameters`.
* - implementation of map ranking algorithm
- also effected necessary suggestions mentioned in the earlier ranking pr's
- made some performance improvements to the ndcg algo as well
* Add OpenMP as CMake target
* Require CMake 3.12, to allow linking OpenMP target to objxgboost
* Specify OpenMP compiler flag for CUDA host compiler
* Require CMake 3.16+ if the OS is Mac OSX
* Use AppleClang in Mac tests.
* Update dmlc-core
* Remove `learning_rates`.
It's been deprecated since we have callback.
* Set `before_iteration` of `reset_learning_rate` to False to preserve
the initial learning rate, and comply to the term "reset".
Closes#4709.
* Tests for various `tree_method`.
