* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.
