Description
Incremental should have a `max_iter` hyperparameter to control the number of passes (epochs) over the training data.
Implementing a `max_iter` is relatively straightforward. What we really want is some kind of "as many epochs as necessary until the underlying estimator has converged" parameter, which seems relatively difficult.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Incremental entry point and its existing training loop and tests. Review the context from the split-off dask/dask-ml#258 work, then determine how max_iter should control passes over the training data; completion should include coverage showing the requested number of epochs is honored.
