* Replaced std::vector with HostDeviceVector in MetaInfo and SparsePage.
- added distributions to HostDeviceVector
- using HostDeviceVector for labels, weights and base margings in MetaInfo
- using HostDeviceVector for offset and data in SparsePage
- other necessary refactoring
* Added const version of HostDeviceVector API calls.
- const versions added to calls that can trigger data transfers, e.g. DevicePointer()
- updated the code that uses HostDeviceVector
- objective functions now accept const HostDeviceVector<bst_float>& for predictions
* Updated src/linear/updater_gpu_coordinate.cu.
* Added read-only state for HostDeviceVector sync.
- this means no copies are performed if both host and devices access
the HostDeviceVector read-only
* Fixed linter and test errors.
- updated the lz4 plugin
- added ConstDeviceSpan to HostDeviceVector
- using device % dh::NVisibleDevices() for the physical device number,
e.g. in calls to cudaSetDevice()
* Fixed explicit template instantiation errors for HostDeviceVector.
- replaced HostDeviceVector<unsigned int> with HostDeviceVector<int>
* Fixed HostDeviceVector tests that require multiple GPUs.
- added a mock set device handler; when set, it is called instead of cudaSetDevice()
* Add basic Span class based on ISO++20.
* Use Span<Entry const> instead of Inst in SparsePage.
* Add DeviceSpan in HostDeviceVector, use it in regression obj.
* Use sparse page as singular CSR matrix representation
* Simplify dmatrix methods
* Reduce statefullness of batch iterators
* BREAKING CHANGE: Remove prob_buffer_row parameter. Users are instead recommended to sample their dataset as a preprocessing step before using XGBoost.
* fix rebase conflict
* [core] additional gblinear improvements
* [R] callback for gblinear coefficients history
* force eta=1 for gblinear python tests
* add top_k to GreedyFeatureSelector
* set eta=1 in shotgun test
* [core] fix SparsePage processing in gblinear; col-wise multithreading in greedy updater
* set sorted flag within TryInitColData
* gblinear tests: use scale, add external memory test
* fix multiclass for greedy updater
* fix whitespace
* fix typo
