* Support more input types for categorical data.
* Shorten the type name from "categorical" to "c".
* Tests for np/cp array and scipy csr/csc/coo.
* Specify the type for feature info.
* Add hessian to batch param in preparation of new approx impl.
* Extract a push method for gradient index matrix.
* Use span instead of vector ref for hessian in sketching.
* Create a binary format for gradient index.
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.

* Work around a segfault observed in SparsePage::Push()
* Revert "Work around a segfault observed in SparsePage::Push()"
This reverts commit 30934844d00908750a5442082eb4769b1489f6a9.
* Don't call vector::resize() inside OpenMP block
* Set GITHUB_PAT env var to fix R tests
* Use built-in GITHUB_TOKEN
* Use type aliases for discard iterators
* update to include host_vector as thrust 1.12 doesn't bring it in as a side-effect
* cub::DispatchRadixSort requires signed offset types
- Reduce dependency on dmlc parsers and provide an interface for users to load data by themselves.
- Remove use of threaded iterator and IO queue.
- Remove `page_size`.
- Make sure the number of pages in memory is bounded.
- Make sure the cache can not be violated.
- Provide an interface for internal algorithms to process data asynchronously.
The role of ProxyDMatrix is going beyond what it was designed. Now it's used by both
QuantileDeviceDMatrix and inplace prediction. After the refactoring of sparse DMatrix it
will also be used for external memory. Renaming the C API to extract it from
QuantileDeviceDMatrix.
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.
* Add feature score support for linear model.
* Port R interface to the new implementation.
* Add linear model support in Python.
