**Symptom** Apple Clang's implementation of `std::shuffle` expects doesn't work
correctly when it is run with the random bit generator for R package:
```cpp
CustomGlobalRandomEngine::result_type
CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()() {
return static_cast<result_type>(
std::floor(unif_rand() * CustomGlobalRandomEngine::max()));
}
```
Minimial reproduction of failure (compile using Apple Clang 10.0):
```cpp
std::vector<int> feature_set(100);
std::iota(feature_set.begin(), feature_set.end(), 0);
// initialize with 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 99
std::shuffle(feature_set.begin(), feature_set.end(), common::GlobalRandom());
// This returns 0, 1, 2, ..., 99, so content didn't get shuffled at all!!!
```
Note that this bug is platform-dependent; it does not appear when GCC or
upstream LLVM Clang is used.
**Diagnosis** Apple Clang's `std::shuffle` expects 32-bit integer
inputs, whereas `CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()` produces 64-bit
integers.
**Fix** Have `CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()` produce 32-bit integers.

* 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.
