This PR replaces the original RABIT implementation with a new one, which has already been partially merged into XGBoost. The new one features:
- Federated learning for both CPU and GPU.
- NCCL.
- More data types.
- A unified interface for all the underlying implementations.
- Improved timeout handling for both tracker and workers.
- Exhausted tests with metrics (fixed a couple of bugs along the way).
- A reusable tracker for Python and JVM packages.
- Add a test for blocking calls.
- Do not require the queue to be empty after waking up; this frees up the thread to answer blocking calls.
- Handle EOF in read.
- Improve the error message in the result. Allow concatenation of multiple results.
* [coll] Implement a new tracker and a communicator.
The new tracker and communicators communicate through the use of JSON documents. Along
with which, communicators are aware of each other.
