Pass pointer to model parameters. (#5101)
* Pass pointer to model parameters.

This PR de-duplicates most of the model parameters except the one in
`tree_model.h`.  One difficulty is `base_score` is a model property but can be
changed at runtime by objective function.  Hence when performing model IO, we
need to save the one provided by users, instead of the one transformed by
objective.  Here we created an immutable version of `LearnerModelParam` that
represents the value of model parameter after configuration.

Use `UpdateAllowUnknown' for non-model related parameter. (#4961)
* Use `UpdateAllowUnknown' for non-model related parameter.

Model parameter can not pack an additional boolean value due to binary IO
format.  This commit deals only with non-model related parameter configuration.

* Add tidy command line arg for use-dmlc-gtest.

Restrict access to cfg_ in gbm. (#4801)
* Restrict access to `cfg_` in gbm.

* Verify having correct updaters.

* Remove `grow_global_histmaker`

This updater is the same as `grow_histmaker`.  The former is not in our
document so we just remove it.

Refactor configuration [Part II]. (#4577)
* 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
