+Quantile prediction intervals with Random Forest Regressor

+An example of how to generate quantile prediction intervals with
+Random Forest Regressor class on the California Housing dataset.
+The plot compares the conditional median with the quantile prediction intervals, i.e. prediction at
+quantile parameter being 0.025, 0.5 and 0.975. This allows us to generate predictions at 95%
+intervals with upper and lower bounds.
