hvtiBoostmtree 2.0.0
First release of hvtiBoostmtree, the HVTI-internal fork of boostmtree (forked from kogalur/boostmtree @ v1.5.1). Upstream boostmtree is back on CRAN, so this fork is internal-only and renamed to the hvti* namespace to avoid ambiguity. The boostmtree() function and its S3 methods are unchanged — usage is now library(hvtiBoostmtree); boostmtree(...).
