The document of `early_stopping_rounds` says it will check all of

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.

fix #1288

* Add n_estimators as num_iteration alias

Scikit-Learn's ensemble methods use the term `n_estimators` for the number of
iterations of training models. To make it more accessible for newcomers who are
familiar with Scikit-Learn, it would help if the Parameters page mentioned
`n_estimators` and what parameter that maps to within LightGBM's API.

Addresses discussion brought up in #954

* Add n_estimators as num_iterations alias

Adds n_estimators as an alias for num_iterations in the CLI as well as Python
libs. Additionally bumps the default for n_estimators in the Sklearn API to 100
estimators.
