This PR replaces the original RABIT implementation with a new one, which has already been partially merged into XGBoost. The new one features: - Federated learning for both CPU and GPU. - NCCL. - More data types. - A unified interface for all the underlying implementations. - Improved timeout handling for both tracker and workers. - Exhausted tests with metrics (fixed a couple of bugs along the way). - A reusable tracker for Python and JVM packages.
