feat: Implement new xgboost

[gandola]

Adds a new OpenML provider, openml-xgboost, built directly on the upstream XGBoost JVM binding (ml.dmlc:xgboost4j_2.12:3.4.0) to be a replacement of the H2O-embedded XGBoost.

Phase 1 covers:

• Model import — loadModel / loadSchema / validateForLoad.
• Real-time single-instance scoring — classify / getClassDistribution via Booster.inplace_predict.
• In-process (non-Spark) training — fit via XGBoost.train.

Key classes

• XgboostModelProvider — TrainingMachineLearningProvider, algorithm XGBOOST_BINARY_CLASSIFIER.
• XgboostModelCreator — loadModel / fit / validateForLoad / validateForFit.
• XgboostClassificationModel — scoring; native handle guarded by a synchronized block (the Booster handle is not thread-safe).
• XgboostSchemaUtils — shared feature-row builder used by both training and scoring (guarantees identical encoding).

Native runtime

• xgboost4j bundles native libs for linux/{x86_64,aarch64}, macos/{x86_64,aarch64}, windows/x86_64 — ARM/Graviton works out of the box.
• Requires OpenMP (libgomp/libomp) at runtime.
• No musl/Alpine native binary is published — native-dependent tests are Assume-guarded and skip gracefully there.

Dependency handling (Kryo)

xgboost4j_2.12 transitively pulls Kryo 5, whose com.esotericsoftware.kryo.Kryo collides on the classpath with the Kryo 4 (kryo-shaded) used by Spark/consumers (Kryo 5 removed the nested Kryo.DefaultInstantiatorStrategy). Since Booster implements com.esotericsoftware.kryo.KryoSerializable, kryo must still be
present at class-load. Resolution: exclude kryo from the xgboost4j dependency and re-declare it in provided scope — available for this module's own compile/tests, not propagated transitively to consumers (which supply their own Kryo).

Testing

• 20 tests; native-dependent ones Assume-skip where the native lib can't load (musl).
• Coverage: 154/159 lines, 38/40 branches. Remaining gaps are the jackson-backed loadSchema one-line delegation and two native-exception catch blocks.
• Verified train + save/reload produces identical scores; validation rejects string/free-text feature fields.
