This is the one last PR for removing omp global variable.
* Add context object to the `DMatrix`. This bridges `DMatrix` with https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/7308 .
* Require context to be available at the construction time of booster.
* Add `n_threads` support for R csc DMatrix constructor.
* Remove `omp_get_max_threads` in R glue code.
* Remove threading utilities that rely on omp global variable.
* Categorical prediction with CPU predictor and GPU predict leaf.
* Implement categorical prediction for CPU prediction.
* Implement categorical prediction for GPU predict leaf.
* Refactor the prediction functions to have a unified get next node function.

* Use normal predictor for dart booster.
* Implement `inplace_predict` for dart.
* Enable `dart` for dask interface now that it's thread-safe.
* categorical data should be working out of box for dart now.
The implementation is not very efficient as it has to pull back the data and
apply weight for each tree, but still a significant improvement over previous
implementation as now we no longer binary search for each sample.
* Fix output prediction shape on dataframe.
Normal prediction with DMatrix is now thread safe with locks. Added inplace prediction is lock free thread safe.
When data is on device (cupy, cudf), the returned data is also on device.
* Implementation for numpy, csr, cudf and cupy.
* Implementation for dask.
* Remove sync in simple dmatrix.
