cc6a5a3666 Added finding quantiles on GPU. (#3393)
* Added finding quantiles on GPU.

- this includes datasets where weights are assigned to data rows
- as the quantiles found by the new algorithm are not the same
  as those found by the old one, test thresholds in
    tests/python-gpu/test_gpu_updaters.py have been adjusted.

* Adjustments and improved testing for finding quantiles on the GPU.

- added C++ tests for the DeviceSketch() function
- reduced one of the thresholds in test_gpu_updaters.py
- adjusted the cuts found by the find_cuts_k kernel
