* set priority by length & check duplicate

* rename function

* refine categorical split

* add test

* better log for "Check max_depth and num_leaves"

The default log said "[LightGBM] [Warning] Accuarcy may be bad since you didn't set num_leaves." but the case max_depth²>num_leaves could also trigger this log.
Correction of a typo too : Accuarcy > Accuracy
