* 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.

- Updated FindNccl package to have env-var NCCL_ROOT to take precedence
* Upgrading to v9.2 for CI workflow, since it has the nccl2 binaries available

* update dmlc-core
* fix qids name error
* fix group_ptr_ error
* Style fix
* Add qid handling logic to SparsePage
* New MetaInfo format + backward compatibility fix
Old MetaInfo format (1.0) doesn't contain qid field. We still want to be able
to read from MetaInfo files saved in old format. Also, define a new format
(2.0) that contains the qid field. This way, we can distinguish files that
contain qid and those that do not.
* Update MetaInfo test
* Simply group assignment logic
* Explicitly set qid=nullptr in NativeDataIter
NativeDataIter's callback does not support qid field. Users of NativeDataIter
will need to call setGroup() function separately to set group information.
* Save qids_ in SaveBinary()
* Upgrade dmlc-core submodule
* Add a test for reading qid
* Add contributor
* Check the size of qids_

CI tests were failing because wget prompts "the user" for a response
whenever the google test archive is already on the disk.
Fix: Use `-nc` option to skip download when the archive already
exists
