Clarify xgboost mtry default #1017

Description

@jxu

I've looked in dials and parsnip and I can't find what mtry actually defaults to. Does it with count=F correspond to xgboost's colsample_bynode?
I believe for random forests, mtry default is sqrt(# features), but xgboost by default uses all columns.
