Support categorical data for hist. (#7695)
* Extract partitioner from hist.
* Implement categorical data support by passing the gradient index directly into the partitioner.
* Organize/update document.
* Remove code for negative hessian.

Support optimal partitioning for GPU hist. (#7652)
* 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.

Extract evaluate splits from CPU hist. (#7079)
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.
