* Add configuration parameters for CEGB.

* Add skeleton CEGB tree learner

Like the original CEGB version, this inherits from SerialTreeLearner.
Currently, it changes nothing from the original.

* Track features used in CEGB tree learner.

* Pull CEGB tradeoff and coupled feature penalty from config.

* Implement finding best splits for CEGB

This is heavily based on the serial version, but just adds using the coupled penalties.

* Set proper defaults for cegb parameters.

* Ensure sanity checks don't switch off CEGB.

* Implement per-data-point feature penalties in CEGB.

* Implement split penalty and remove unused parameters.

* Merge changes from CEGB tree learner into serial tree learner

* Represent features_used_in_data by a bitset, to reduce the memory overhead of CEGB, and add sanity checks for the lengths of the penalty vectors.

* Fix bug where CEGB would incorrectly penalise a previously used feature

The tree learner did not update the gains of previously computed leaf splits when splitting a leaf elsewhere in the tree.
This caused it to prefer new features due to incorrectly penalising splitting on previously used features.

* Document CEGB parameters and add them to the appropriate section.

* Remove leftover reference to cegb tree learner.

* Remove outdated diff.

* Fix warnings
