Fixes #25206What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.
I did a documentation change where the deviance(=loss) given by the train_score_ is double the actual log_loss which gave some non understandable results when using the train_score_ functions for the training data and a classic log_normal function for the test data.
The fix i proposed is on the level of the documentary of the parameters of the loss of the GradientBoostingClassifier where i mentionned that loss(=deviance) might have a factor of two and that if we want the actual we need to take only half the loss.
Any other comments?
