* Fix#3545: XGDMatrixCreateFromCSCEx silently discards empty trailing rows
Description: The bug is triggered when
1. The data matrix has empty rows at the bottom. More precisely, the rows
`n-k+1`, `n-k+2`, ..., `n` of the matrix have missing values in all
dimensions (`n` number of instances, `k` number of trailing rows)
2. The data matrix is given as Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format.
Diagnosis: When the CSC matrix is converted to Compressed Sparse Row (CSR)
format (this is common format used for DMatrix), the trailing empty rows
are silently ignored. More specifically, the row pointer (`offset`) of the
newly created CSR matrix does not take account of these rows.
Fix: Modify the row pointer.
* Add regression test
The base margin will need to have length `[num_class] * [number of data points]`.
Otherwise, the array holding prediction results will be only partially
initialized, causing undefined behavior.
Fix: check the length of the base margin. If the length is not correct,
use the global bias (`base_score`) instead. Warn the user about the
substitution.
* Fix#3402: wrong fid crashes distributed algorithm
The bug was introduced by the recent DMatrix refactor (#3301). It was partially
fixed by #3408 but the example in #3402 was still failing. The example in #3402
will succeed after this fix is applied.

* wrap indexing_mode example in code block
This bring many goodies, including:
* Ability to specify delimiter and weight_column for CSV files:
```python
dtrain = xgboost.DMatrix('train.csv?format=csv&label_column=0&weight_column=1&delimiter= ')
```
* Ability to choose between 0-based and 1-based indexing for LIBSVM/LIBFM files:
```python
dtrain = xgboost.DMatrix('train.libsvm?indexing_mode=1') # use 1-based indexing
dtest = xgboost.DMatrix('test.libsvm') # use 0-based indexing (default)
dtest2 = xgboost.DMatrix('test2.libsvm?indexing_mode=-1') # use heuristic to detect 0-based / 1-based
```

* Allow feature_names/feature_types to be of any type
If feature_names/feature_types is iterable, e.g. tuple, list, then convert the value to list, except for string; otherwise construct a list with a single value
* Delete excess whitespace
* Fix whitespace to pass lint
* Expand histogram memory dynamically to prevent large allocations for large tree depths (e.g. > 15)
* Remove GPU memory allocation messages. These are misleading as a large number of allocations are now dynamic.
* Fix appveyor R test
* Save max_delta_step as an extra attribute of Booster
Fixes#3509 and #3026, where `max_delta_step` parameter gets lost during serialization.
* fix lint
* Use camel case for global constant
* disable local variable case in clang-tidy
* 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
Add `'total_gain'` and `'total_cover'` as possible `importance_type`
arguments to `Booster.get_score` in the Python package.
`get_score` already accepts a `'gain'` argument, which returns each
feature's average gain over all of its splits. `'total_gain'` does the
same, but returns a total rather than an average. This seems more
intuitively meaningful, and also matches the behavior of the R package's
`xgb.importance` function.
I also added an analogous `'total_cover'` command for consistency.
This should resolve#3484.
