* Correct spelling

Most changes were in comments, and there were a few changes to literals for log output.

There were no changes to variable names, function names, IDs, or functionality.

* Correct spelling

Most are code comments, but one case is a literal in a logging message.

There are a few grammar fixes too.

* Add check to prevent out of index lookup in the position discount table. Add debug logging to report number of queries found in the data.

* Change debug logging location so that we can print the data file name as well.

* Revert "Change debug logging location so that we can print the data file name as well."

This reverts commit 3981b34bd6e0530f89c4733e78e6b6603bf50d48.

* Add data file name to debug logging.

* Move log line to a place where it is output even when query IDs are read from a separate file.

* Also add the out-of-range check to rank metrics.

* Perform check after number of queries is initialized.

* Update

* Add support to optimize for NDCG at a given truncation level

In order to correctly optimize for NDCG@_k_, one should exclude pairs containing both documents beyond the top-_k_ (as they don't affect NDCG@_k_ when swapped).

* Update rank_objective.hpp

* Apply suggestions from code review

remove the additional branching: get high_rank and low_rank by one "if".

* Update config.h

add description to lambdarank_truncation_level parameter

* Update Parameters.rst

* Update test_sklearn.py

update expected NDCG value for a test, as it was affected by the underlying change in the algorithm

* Lambdas and hessians need to factor sigmoid_ into the computation. Additionally, the sigmoid function has an arbitrary factor of 2 in the exponent; it is not just non-standard but the gradients are not computed correctly anyway.
