ref #9810

This PR enables multi-column features in DMatrix, thereby allowing multi-output objectives.

Note that it switches some of the earlier code that was there to use the recently introduced helpers to create array interface strings from R objects, so as to avoid unnecessary memory copies and support integer data types.

Note to maintainers: there's one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet.

When using a custom multi-output objective, the base score seems to be forced at 0.5, while in the python interface it seems to be able to estimate a better number according to the data and objective.

Nevertheless, even in the python interface, these numbers do not look like they are what they say: #9840
