Other than modularizing the split evaluation function, this PR also removes some more functions including `InitNewNodes` and `BuildNodeStats` among some other unused variables. Also, scattered code like setting leaf weights is grouped into the split evaluator and `NodeEntry` is simplified and made private. Another subtle difference with the original implementation is that the modified code doesn't call `tree[nidx].Parent()` to traversal upward.
* Removed some warnings

* [R] Add a compatibility layer to load Booster from an old RDS
* Modify QuantileHistMaker::LoadConfig() to be backward compatible with 1.1.x
* Add a big warning about compatibility in QuantileHistMaker::LoadConfig()
* Add testing suite
* Discourage use of saveRDS() in CRAN doc
* Extract interaction constraints from split evaluator.
The reason for doing so is mostly for model IO, where num_feature and interaction_constraints are copied in split evaluator. Also interaction constraint by itself is a feature selector, acting like column sampler and it's inefficient to bury it deep in the evaluator chain. Lastly removing one another copied parameter is a win.
* Enable inc for approx tree method.
As now the implementation is spited up from evaluator class, it's also enabled for approx method.
* Removing obsoleted code in colmaker.
They are never documented nor actually used in real world. Also there isn't a single test for those code blocks.
* Unifying the types used for row and column.
As the size of input dataset is marching to billion, incorrect use of int is subject to overflow, also singed integer overflow is undefined behaviour. This PR starts the procedure for unifying used index type to unsigned integers. There's optimization that can utilize this undefined behaviour, but after some testings I don't see the optimization is beneficial to XGBoost.
* Refactor configuration [Part II].
* General changes:
** Remove `Init` methods to avoid ambiguity.
** Remove `Configure(std::map<>)` to avoid redundant copying and prepare for
parameter validation. (`std::vector` is returned from `InitAllowUnknown`).
** Add name to tree updaters for easier debugging.
* Learner changes:
** Make `LearnerImpl` the only source of configuration.
All configurations are stored and carried out by `LearnerImpl::Configure()`.
** Remove booster in C API.
Originally kept for "compatibility reason", but did not state why. So here
we just remove it.
** Add a `metric_names_` field in `LearnerImpl`.
** Remove `LazyInit`. Configuration will always be lazy.
** Run `Configure` before every iteration.
* Predictor changes:
** Allocate both cpu and gpu predictor.
** Remove cpu_predictor from gpu_predictor.
`GBTree` is now used to dispatch the predictor.
** Remove some GPU Predictor tests.
* IO
No IO changes. The binary model format stability is tested by comparing
hashing value of save models between two commits
