Description

We used to have sklearn label encoder in the sklearn interface but removed it for consistency and wider data type support. This is a tracking issue to bring it back, but for all interfaces.

We might reuse some code from https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/11088 to handle discrete values.
