Use Lists of Columns for Various Files

[isVoid]

This PR covers many low hanging fruits for #10153. All API accepting Frames now accepts a list of columns in the following files:

• hash.pyx
• interop.pyx
• join.pyx
• partitioning.pyx
• quantiles.pyx
• reshape.pyx
• search.pyx
• transform.pyx
• lists.pyx
• string/combine.pyx

This PR covers point 5 in the follow-ups to #9889.
Also, in join.pyx, gil was not released when dispatching workload to libcudf. This PR fixes that.

If this is still in draft maybe it should be targeting 22.06? Fine to leave it pointing at 22.04 for CI and to move it later though, just checking what you intend.

It's targeting 22.06

[vyasr]

I'm guessing that you mean that you branched off of 22.06 locally? The actual PR is attempting to merge into 22.04.
