* All Linux tests are now in Jenkins CI
* Tests are now de-coupled from builds. We can now build XGBoost with one version of CUDA/JDK and test it with another version of CUDA/JDK
* Builds (compilation) are significantly faster because 1) They use C5 instances with faster CPU cores; and 2) build environment setup is cached using Docker containers
* Upgrading to NCCL2
* Part - II of NCCL2 upgradation
- Doc updates to build with nccl2
- Dockerfile.gpu update for a correct CI build with nccl2
- Updated FindNccl package to have env-var NCCL_ROOT to take precedence
* Upgrading to v9.2 for CI workflow, since it has the nccl2 binaries available
* Added NCCL2 license + copy the nccl binaries into /usr location for the FindNccl module to find
* Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to pick nccl2 binary at runtime
* Need the nccl2 library download instructions inside Dockerfile.release as well
* Use NCCL2 as a static library
