Optimization of EvaluateSplit function #5138

EvaluateSplit was optimized by processing many tree nodes in the same time.
Foe details look at the issue #5104

To implement this ParallelFor2d was introduced to support nested parallelism. This function will be used for optimizations of other functions BuildHist and ApplySplit.
In previous implementation the main source of code complexity was blocking for nested parallelism. Now common code for this was aggregated and moved in common threading utils. So, further PRs should be more light-weight.

I will provide performance numbers a bit later.

This looks much better than before, also PR is about the right size. I will leave others to comment on algorithm correctness.

@hcho3, here is a breakdown for Airline data set, now performance for EvaluateSplit is similar to how it was before reverting:

The depth of root node is determined I believe. Please help removing it as legacy support for root_index is now removed.

Changed 0 to ExpandEntry::kRootNid const, if I correctly understand the comment.

Will run some bench on my own today. For other reviews I will leave it up to @hcho3

Thanks for your valuable contribution. In particular, I appreciate the introduction of new abstraction BlockedSpace2d and ParallelFor2d. It improved code legibility tremendously. I have some minor comments, but otherwise LGTM.
