Research direction

Start by comparing the named GradientBoostingRegressor and HistGradientBoostingRegressor entry points, focusing on how subsample and max_features are defined and behave in the existing estimator. Done means HistGradientBoostingRegressor supports equivalent parameters with documented, validated behavior and coverage for the relevant cases.
