This PR replaces the original RABIT implementation with a new one, which has already been partially merged into XGBoost. The new one features:
- Federated learning for both CPU and GPU.
- NCCL.
- More data types.
- A unified interface for all the underlying implementations.
- Improved timeout handling for both tracker and workers.
- Exhausted tests with metrics (fixed a couple of bugs along the way).
- A reusable tracker for Python and JVM packages.
* Cleanup some pylint errors.
* Cleanup pylint errors in rabit modules.
* Make data iter an abstract class and cleanup private access.
* Cleanup no-self-use for booster.
- Add user configuration.
- Bring back to the logic of using scheduler address from dask. This was removed when we were trying to support GKE, now we bring it back and let xgboost try it if direct guess or host IP from user config failed.
* [dask] Use `distributed.MultiLock`
This enables training multiple models in parallel.
* Conditionally import `MultiLock`.
* Use async train directly in scikit learn interface.
* Use `worker_client` when available.
