* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.
* Simplify Scikit-Learn parameter management.
* Copy base class for removing duplicated parameter signatures.
* Set all parameters to None.
* Handle None in set_param.
* Extract the doc.

* Fix syncing DMatrix columns.
* notes for tree method.
* Enable feature validation for all interfaces except for jvm.
* Better tests for boosting from predictions.
* Disable validation on JVM.
* Remove `learning_rates`.
It's been deprecated since we have callback.
* Set `before_iteration` of `reset_learning_rate` to False to preserve
the initial learning rate, and comply to the term "reset".
Closes#4709.
* Tests for various `tree_method`.
* Extract interaction constraints from split evaluator.
The reason for doing so is mostly for model IO, where num_feature and interaction_constraints are copied in split evaluator. Also interaction constraint by itself is a feature selector, acting like column sampler and it's inefficient to bury it deep in the evaluator chain. Lastly removing one another copied parameter is a win.
* Enable inc for approx tree method.
As now the implementation is spited up from evaluator class, it's also enabled for approx method.
* Removing obsoleted code in colmaker.
They are never documented nor actually used in real world. Also there isn't a single test for those code blocks.
* Unifying the types used for row and column.
As the size of input dataset is marching to billion, incorrect use of int is subject to overflow, also singed integer overflow is undefined behaviour. This PR starts the procedure for unifying used index type to unsigned integers. There's optimization that can utilize this undefined behaviour, but after some testings I don't see the optimization is beneficial to XGBoost.
This makes GPU Hist robust in distributed environment as some workers might not
be associated with any data in either training or evaluation.
* Disable rabit mock test for now: See #5012 .
* Disable dask-cudf test at prediction for now: See #5003
* Launch dask job for all workers despite they might not have any data.
* Check 0 rows in elementwise evaluation metrics.
Using AUC and AUC-PR still throws an error. See #4663 for a robust fix.
* Add tests for edge cases.
* Add `LaunchKernel` wrapper handling zero sized grid.
* Move some parts of allreducer into a cu file.
* Don't validate feature names when the booster is empty.
* Sync number of columns in DMatrix.
As num_feature is required to be the same across all workers in data split
mode.
* Filtering in dask interface now by default syncs all booster that's not
empty, instead of using rank 0.
* Fix Jenkins' GPU tests.
* Install dask-cuda from source in Jenkins' test.
Now all tests are actually running.
* Restore GPU Hist tree synchronization test.
* Check UUID of running devices.
The check is only performed on CUDA version >= 10.x, as 9.x doesn't have UUID field.
* Fix CMake policy and project variables.
Use xgboost_SOURCE_DIR uniformly, add policy for CMake >= 3.13.
* Fix copying data to CPU
* Fix race condition in cpu predictor.
* Fix duplicated DMatrix construction.
* Don't download extra nccl in CI script.
* Don't set_params at the end of set_state.
* Also fix another issue found in dask prediction.
* Add note about prediction.
Don't support other prediction modes at the moment.
* Initial support for cudf integration.
* Add two C APIs for consuming data and metainfo.
* Add CopyFrom for SimpleCSRSource as a generic function to consume the data.
* Add FromDeviceColumnar for consuming device data.
* Add new MetaInfo::SetInfo for consuming label, weight etc.
