Subject: [PATCH] [MINOR][ML][DOC] Rename weights to coefficients in user guide

We should use ```coefficients``` rather than ```weights``` in user guide that freshman can get the right conventional name at the outset. mengxr vectorijk

Author: Yanbo Liang <ybliang8@gmail.com>

Closes #9493 from yanboliang/docs-coefficients.
