Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am porting some existing code from Pandas to cuDF, when I have noticed that `skiprows` parameter in `read_csv` method does not suport neither `list-like` nor `callable` arguments.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Support the same argument types as Pandas: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html
It is very useful to load subsets of huge files:
df = pd.read_csv("dataset.csv", skiprows = lambda x: x>0 and np.random.rand() > 0.01)
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None
**Additional context**
Tested with RAPIDS 0.13
