This PR rewrites the approx tree method to use codebase from hist for better performance and code sharing.
The rewrite has many benefits:
- Support for both `max_leaves` and `max_depth`.
- Support for `grow_policy`.
- Support for mono constraint.
- Support for feature weights.
- Support for easier bin configuration (`max_bin`).
- Support for categorical data.
- Faster performance for most of the datasets. (many times faster)
- Support for prediction cache.
- Significantly better performance for external memory.
- Unites the code base between approx and hist.
* Extend array interface to handle ndarray.
The `ArrayInterface` class is extended to support multi-dim array inputs. Previously this
class handles only 2-dim (vector is also matrix). This PR specifies the expected
dimension at compile-time and the array interface can perform various checks automatically
for input data. Also, adapters like CSR are more rigorous about their input. Lastly, row
vector and column vector are handled without intervention from the caller.
Spark 3.2 depends on 3.7.0-M11 which has changed some implicited functions'
signatures. And it will result the xgboost4j built against spark 3.0/3.1
failed when saving the model.
Following classes are added to support dataframe in java binding:
- `Column` is an abstract type for a single column in tabular data.
- `ColumnBatch` is an abstract type for dataframe.
- `CuDFColumn` is an implementaiton of `Column` that consume cuDF column
- `CudfColumnBatch` is an implementation of `ColumnBatch` that consumes cuDF dataframe.
- `DeviceQuantileDMatrix` is the interface for quantized data.
The Java implementation mimics the Python interface and uses `__cuda_array_interface__` protocol for memory indexing. One difference is on JVM package, the data batch is staged on the host as java iterators cannot be reset.

Fix bug introduced in 17913713b554d820a8ce94226d854b4a5f1d8bbc (allow loading from byte array)
When loading model from stream, only last buffer read from the input stream is used to construct the model.
This may work for models smaller than 1 MiB (if you are lucky enough to read the whole model at once), but will always fail if the model is larger.
* Add feature score support for linear model.
* Port R interface to the new implementation.
* Add linear model support in Python.

* Use correct path for saving native lib
* Fix groupId of maven-surefire-plugin
* Fix stashing of xgboost4j_jar_gpu
* [CI] Don't run xgboost4j-tester with GPU, since it doesn't use gpu_hist
