* Save feature info in booster in JSON model.
* [breaking] Remove automatic feature name generation in `DMatrix`.
This PR is to enable reliable feature validation in Python package.
* 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.
* Accept array interface for csr and array.
* Accept an optional proxy dmatrix for metainfo.
This constructs an explicit `_ProxyDMatrix` type in Python.
* Remove unused doc.
* Add strict output.
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.
* 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.
Refactor the evaluation matrices handling.
This PR is meant the end the confusion around best_ntree_limit and unify model slicing. We have multi-class and random forests, asking users to understand how to set ntree_limit is difficult and error prone.
* Implement the save_best option in early stopping.

* fixed some endian issues
* Use dmlc::ByteSwap() to simplify code
* Fix lint check
* [CI] Add test for s390x
* Download latest CMake on s390x
* Fix a bug in my code
* Save magic number in dmatrix with byteswap on big-endian machine
* Save version in binary with byteswap on big-endian machine
* Load scalar with byteswap in MetaInfo

* Set output margin to True for custom objective in Python and R.
* Add a demo for writing multi-class custom objective function.
* Run tests on selected demos.
* Add inplace prediction for dask-cudf.
* Remove Dockerfile.release, since it's not used anywhere
* Use Conda exclusively in CUDF and GPU containers
* Improve cupy memory copying.
* Add skip marks to tests.
* Add mgpu-cudf category on the CI to run all distributed tests.

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.
