[R-package] Export callback functions

[jameslamb]

See this comment and this comment thread from #2443 . Currently the functions in callback.R are not exported in the R package. This means that the use of callbacks keyword argument in lgb.train() is unclear.

To close this issue, submit a PR with the following features

• Roxygen documentation on relevant functions in R-package/callbacks.R, including @export tag. Consider also using @family tag to auto-generate see-also links.
• regenerated .Rd documentation (see this comment for how to do this). This should also regenerate R-package/NAMESPACE.
• updated documentation in any other functions that expose callbacks, linking to the relevant documentation

Are you still working on this feature request?

Yes, thanks for the reminder, I'd like to get to this within the next release cycle. Not having it is blocking #6172. Let's leave it open please.
