- Pass context from booster to DMatrix.
- Use context instead of integer for `n_threads`.
- Check the consistency configuration for `max_bin`.
- Test for all combinations of initialization options.
* Prepare for improving Windows networking compatibility.
* Include dmlc filesystem indirectly as dmlc/filesystem.h includes windows.h, which
conflicts with winsock2.h
* Define `NOMINMAX` conditionally.
* Link the winsock library when mysys32 is used.
* Add config file for read the doc.
Support adaptive tree, a feature supported by both sklearn and lightgbm. The tree leaf is recomputed based on residue of labels and predictions after construction.
For l1 error, the optimal value is the median (50 percentile).
This is marked as experimental support for the following reasons:
- The value is not well defined for distributed training, where we might have empty leaves for local workers. Right now I just use the original leaf value for computing the average with other workers, which might cause significant errors.
- Some follow-ups are required, for exact, pruner, and optimization for quantile function. Also, we need to calculate the initial estimation.
* Implement `MaxCategory` in quantile.
* Implement partition-based split for GPU evaluation. Currently, it's based on the existing evaluation function.
* Extract an evaluator from GPU Hist to store the needed states.
* Added some CUDA stream/event utilities.
* Update document with references.
* Fixed a bug in approx evaluator where the number of data points is less than the number of categories.
On GPU we use rouding factor to truncate the gradient for deterministic results. This PR changes the gradient representation to fixed point number with exponent aligned with rounding factor.
[breaking] Drop non-deterministic histogram.
Use fixed point for shared memory.
This PR is to improve the performance of GPU Hist.

* Use pre-rounding based method to obtain reproducible floating point
summation.
* GPU Hist for regression and classification are bit-by-bit reproducible.
* Add doc.
* Switch to thrust reduce for `node_sum_gradient`.
- move segment sorter to common
- this is the first of a handful of pr's that splits the larger pr #5326
- it moves this facility to common (from ranking objective class), so that it can be
used for metric computation
- it also wraps all the bald device pointers into span.
* 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.
