* Add a new API function for predicting on `DMatrix`. This function aligns
with rest of the `XGBoosterPredictFrom*` functions on semantic of function
arguments.
* Purge `ntree_limit` from libxgboost, use iteration instead.
* [dask] Use `inplace_predict` by default for dask sklearn models.
* [dask] Run prediction shape inference on worker instead of client.
The breaking change is in the Python sklearn `apply` function, I made it to be
consistent with other prediction functions where `best_iteration` is used by
default.
This PR changes predict and inplace_predict to accept a Future of model, to avoid sending models to workers repeatably.
* Document is updated to reflect functionality additions in recent changes.
This PR ensures all DMatrix types have a common interface.
* Fix logic in avoiding duplicated DMatrix in sklearn.
* Check for consistency between DMatrix types.
* Add doc for bounds.
* Initial support for distributed LTR using dask.
* Support `qid` in libxgboost.
* Refactor `predict` and `n_features_in_`, `best_[score/iteration/ntree_limit]`
to avoid duplicated code.
* Define `DaskXGBRanker`.
The dask ranker doesn't support group structure, instead it uses query id and
convert to group ptr internally.
* For sklearn:
- Handles user defined objective function.
- Handles `softmax`.
* For dask:
- Use the implementation from sklearn, the previous implementation doesn't perform any extra handling.
* Calling XGBModel.fit() should clear the Booster by default
* Document the behavior of fit()
* Allow sklearn object to be passed in directly via xgb_model argument
* Fix lint
* Implement early stopping with training continuation.
* Add new C API for obtaining boosted rounds.
* Fix off by 1 in `save_best`.

Deprecate positional arguments in following functions:
- `__init__` for all classes in sklearn module.
- `fit` method for all classes in sklearn module.
- dask interface.
- `set_info` for `DMatrix` class.

Scikit-Learn passes all parameters down to XGBoost, whether they are used or
not.
* Add option `validate_parameters`.
