RFC Unify old GradientBoosting estimators and HGBT

### Current situation
We have the unfortunate situation to have 2 different versions of gradient boosting, the old estimators ([`GradientBoostingClassifier`](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.GradientBoostingClassifier.html#sklearn-ensemble-gradientboostingclassifier) and `GradientBoostingRegressor`) as well as the new ones using binning and histogram strategies similar to LightGBM ([`HistGradientBoostingClassifier`](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingClassifier.html#sklearn-ensemble-histgradientboostingclassifier) and `HistGradientBoostingRegressor`).

This makes advertising the new ones harder, e.g. #26826, and also result in a larger feature gap between those two.
Based on discussions in #27139 and during a monthly meeting (maybe not documented), **I'd like to call for comments on the following:**

#### Proposition
Unify both types of gradient boosting in a single class, i.e. the old names `GradientBoostingClassifier` and make them switch the underlying estimator class based on a parameter value, e.g. `max_bins` (`None`->old classes, integer->new classes).

Note that binning and histograms are not the only difference.

### Comparison
#### Algorithm
The old GBT uses Friedman gradient boosting with a line search step. (The lines search sometimes, e.g. for log loss, uses a 2. order approximation and is therefore, sometimes, called "hybrid gradient-Newton boosting"). The trees are learned on the gradients. A tree searches for the best split among all (veeeery many) split candidates for all features. After a single tree is fit, the terminal node values are re-computed which corresponds to a line search step.

The new HGBT uses a 2. order approximation of the loss, i.e. gradients and hessians (XGBoost paper, therefore sometimes called Newton boosting). In addition, it bins/discretizes the features `X` and uses a histogram of gradients/hessians/counts per feature. A tree then searches for the best split candidate, but there are only n_features * n_bins candidates (muuuuch less than in GBT).

| estimator | trees train on        | node values (consequence of tree train) | features `X`   |
| --------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------- |
| GBT       | gradients             | recomputed in lines search   | use as is      |
| HGBT      | gradients/hessians    | `sum(gradient)/sum(hessian)` | bin/discretize |

In fact, one could use 2. order loss (gradients and hessians) without binning `X`, and vice-versa, use binning with fitting trees on gradients (without hessians).

In fact, only the quantile/alpha and max_iter/n_estimator parameters are conflicting.

COMMENT:
About first and second order optimizations, I think catboost has an interesting take on it, where you can select an optimizer order by setting `leaf_estimation_method` to `{Newton, Gradient, Exact}`.

Tthis will be a huge refactoring and documentation rewriting. From the user standpoint, it is really frustrating when a lot of parameter interactions are not documented: you set one parameter and it will actually change available options of other parameters and you will never know this until you try (catboost is actually a great example of such behaviour).

Also about HGBM: I think there are some features missing that make it a bit less appealing than XGBoost or LightGBM, for example subsampling (of samples and features).
