The document says `num_leaves` should be smaller than `2^(max_depth)`.
But, its example says `70` or `80` may get better in case of `max_depth=6`.
2^6 is 64. 70 and 80 are greater than 64. The example doesn't make sense.

Changed `max_depth` from 6 to 7.

The document of `early_stopping_rounds` says it will check all of
eval_set. But, this is not true. It doesn't check the dataset
specified as the training data.

This change appends an extra phrase "except the training data" to all
of the sentences "If there's more than one, will check all of them" in
documents.
