* [R] Use new interface for creating DMatrix from CSR.
- CSC is still using the old API.
The old API is not aware of `nthread` parameter, which makes DMatrix to use all available
thread during construction and during transformation lie `SparsePage` -> `CSCPage`.
- Bump configure.ac version.
- Remove amalgamation to reduce the build time for a single object with the added benefit that we can use parallel build during development.
- Fix c function prototype warning.
- Remove Windows automake file generation step to make the build script easier to understand.
