priya-sundaram-dev 30f321fa1f Remove xgboost demos and dependency (#15219)
Drop machine_learning/xgboost_classifier.py and
machine_learning/xgboost_regressor.py. Both were thin "how-to-use"
wrappers around sklearn's XGBClassifier/XGBRegressor rather than
from-scratch implementations, and the classifier's only doctest was
already disabled (# THIS TEST IS BROKEN!!), so it was never exercised
in CI.

xgboost is one of the heaviest compiled dependencies in the tree (large
wheel, needs OpenMP/libgomp at runtime, no free-threaded wheel yet), and
gradient boosting is already implemented from scratch in
machine_learning/gradient_boosting_classifier.py and
gradient_boosting_regressor.py, so no algorithm coverage is lost.

Removes the xgboost dependency from pyproject.toml, its (and its
xgboost-only transitive dep nvidia-nccl-cu13) entries from uv.lock, and
the two DIRECTORY.md links.
