* Multi-GPU HostDeviceVector.
- HostDeviceVector instances can now span multiple devices, defined by GPUSet struct
- the interface of HostDeviceVector has been modified accordingly
- GPU objective functions are now multi-GPU
- GPU predicting from cache is now multi-GPU
- avoiding omp_set_num_threads() calls
- other minor changes
* rank_metric: add AUC-PR
Implementation of the AUC-PR calculation for weighted data, proposed by Keilwagen, Grosse and Grau (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0092209)
* rank_metric: fix lint warnings
* Implement tests for AUC-PR and fix implementation
* add aucpr to documentation for other languages
* fix rebase conflict
* [core] additional gblinear improvements
* [R] callback for gblinear coefficients history
* force eta=1 for gblinear python tests
* add top_k to GreedyFeatureSelector
* set eta=1 in shotgun test
* [core] fix SparsePage processing in gblinear; col-wise multithreading in greedy updater
* set sorted flag within TryInitColData
* gblinear tests: use scale, add external memory test
* fix multiclass for greedy updater
* fix whitespace
* fix typo
* Extended monotonic constraints support to 'hist' tree method.
* Added monotonic constraints tests.
* Fix the signature of NoConstraint::CalcSplitGain()
* Document monotonic constraint support in 'hist'
* Update signature of Update to account for latest refactor
* Replaced std::vector-based interfaces with HostDeviceVector-based interfaces.
- replacement was performed in the learner, boosters, predictors,
updaters, and objective functions
- only interfaces used in training were replaced;
interfaces like PredictInstance() still use std::vector
- refactoring necessary for replacement of interfaces was also performed,
such as using HostDeviceVector in prediction cache
* HostDeviceVector-based interfaces for custom objective function example plugin.
In line 461, the "size_t offset = 0;" should be declared before any calculation, otherwise will cause compilation error.

```
* Add interaction effects and cox loss
* Minimize whitespace changes
* Cox loss now no longer needs a pre-sorted dataset.
* Address code review comments
* Remove mem check, rename to pred_interactions, include bias
* Make lint happy
* More lint fixes
* Fix cox loss indexing
* Fix main effects and tests
* Fix lint
* Use half interaction values on the off-diagonals
* Fix lint again
- thrust::copy() called from dvec::copy() for gpairs invoked a GPU kernel instead of
cudaMemcpy()
- this resulted in illegal memory access if the GPU running the kernel could not access
the data being copied
- new version of dvec::copy() for thrust::device_ptr iterators calls cudaMemcpy(),
avoiding the problem.
* Added GPU objective function and no-copy interface.
- xgboost::HostDeviceVector<T> syncs automatically between host and device
- no-copy interfaces have been added
- default implementations just sync the data to host
and call the implementations with std::vector
- GPU objective function, predictor, histogram updater process data
directly on GPU
* Fix#2905
* Fix gpu_exact test failures
* Fix bug in GPU prediction where multiple calls to batch prediction can produce incorrect results
* Fix GPU documentation formatting
- Implement colsampling, subsampling for gpu_hist_experimental
- Optimised multi-GPU implementation for gpu_hist_experimental
- Make nccl optional
- Add Volta architecture flag
- Optimise RegLossObj
- Add timing utilities for debug verbose mode
- Bump required cuda version to 8.0
* Fatal error if GPU algorithm selected without GPU support compiled
* Resolve type conversion warnings
* Fix gpu unit test failure
* Fix compressed iterator edge case
* Fix python unit test failures due to flake8 update on pip
Problem:
Fast histogram updater crashes whenever subsampling picks zero rows
Diagnosis:
Row set data structure uses "nullptr" internally to indicate a non-existent
row set. Since you cannot take the address of the first element of an empty
vector, a valid row set ends up getting "nullptr" as well.
Fix:
Use an arbitrary value (not equal to "nullptr") to bypass nullptr check.
