d5992dd881 Replaced std::vector-based interfaces with HostDeviceVector-based interfaces. (#3116)
* 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.

6f16f0ef58 Use bst_float consistently throughout (#1824)
* Fix various typos

* Add override to functions that are overridden

gcc gives warnings about functions that are being overridden by not
being marked as oveirridden. This fixes it.

* Use bst_float consistently

Use bst_float for all the variables that involve weight,
leaf value, gradient, hessian, gain, loss_chg, predictions,
base_margin, feature values.

In some cases, when due to additions and so on the value can
take a larger value, double is used.

This ensures that type conversions are minimal and reduces loss of
precision.
