Description
Both XGBoost and LightGBM support a "Random Forest" mode.
In XGBoost you set the `num_parallel_tree` parameter with `nrounds=1` (https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/R-package/discoverYourData.html#special-note-what-about-random-forests).
In LightGBM you use the `boosting='rf'` parameter (https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parameters.html?highlight=Random%20Forest).
Would it be possible to add a "Random Forest" mode to CatBoost?
