* When building pull requests, use Docker cache for master branch
Docker build caches are per-branch, so new pull requests will initially
have no build cache, causing the Docker containers to be built from
scratch. New pull requests should use the cache associated with the
master branch. This makes sense, since most pull requests do not modify
the Dockerfile.
* Add comments
* make the assignments of HostDeviceVector exception safe.
* storing a dummy GPUDistribution instance in HDV for CPU based code.
* change testxgboost binary location to build directory.
* Make train in xgboost4j respect print params
Previously no setting in params argument of Booster::train would prevent
the Rabit.trackerPrint call. This can fill up a lot of screen space in
the case that many folds are being trained.
* Setting "silent" in this map to "true", "True", a non-zero integer, or
a string that can be parsed to such an int will prevent printing.
* Setting "verbose_eval" to "False" or "false" will prevent printing.
* Setting "verbose_eval" to an int (or a String parseable to an int) n
will result in printing every n steps, or no printing is n is zero.
This is to match the python behaviour described here:

* Fixed 'slient' typo in xgboost4j test
* private access on two methods
* Optimisations for gpu_hist.
* Use streams to overlap operations.
* ColumnSampler now uses HostDeviceVector to prevent repeatedly copying feature vectors to the device.
* Brought the silent parameter for the SKLearn-like API back, marked it deprecated.
- added deprecation notice and warning
- removed silent from the tests for the SKLearn-like API
* Improved multi-node multi-GPU random forests.
- removed rabit::Broadcast() from each invocation of column sampling
- instead, syncing the PRNG seed when a ColumnSampler() object is constructed
- this makes non-trivial column sampling significantly faster in the distributed case
- refactored distributed GPU tests
- added distributed random forests tests
* Upgrade gtest for clang-tidy.
* Use CMake to install GTest instead of mv.
* Don't enforce clang-tidy to return 0 due to errors in thrust.
* Add a small test for tidy itself.
* Reformat.
* Added SKLearn-like random forest Python API.
- added XGBRFClassifier and XGBRFRegressor classes to SKL-like xgboost API
- also added n_gpus and gpu_id parameters to SKL classes
- added documentation describing how to use xgboost for random forests,
as well as existing caveats
