* add boosting_type to python sklearn

* fix error

Provide a high level Dataset class for easy use.

current problem:
callback order: user-defined in callback parameter -> reset_learning_rate/print_evaluation/record_evaluation/early_stop
user can't insert a callback between last 4 callbacks

solution:
set order variable:
reset_learning_rate = 10
print_evaluation = 10
record_evaluation = 20
early_stop = 30
user-defined = some int
default: according to index in callback parameter list, = index - len(callbacks) (all < 0)

current callback order:
before iter: user-defined -> reset_learning_rate -> user-defined
after iter: user-defined -> print_evaluation -> user-defined -> record_evaluation -> user-defined -> early_stop -> user-defined

* add feature importances in python; add pandas support

* solve best_iteration issue

Categorical feature support (#108)

1. merge python-package
2. add dump model to json
3. fix bugs
4. clean code with pylint
5. update python examples
