# What does this PR do?
Reworked the loading logic. Idea is to use cleaner loading code:
- Remove need for `no_init_weights`
- Remove all weird `bnb_linear` and `load_weights` and
`post_load_weights`.
New code layout:
- New class `Weights` in charge of handling loading the weights from
multiple files into appropiate tensors (potentially sharded)
- TP layers now are "shells", they contain the code to know what kind of
sharding we need + eventual `all_reduce`. They do not inherit from
linear, but they contain some kind of Linear instead
- the contained linear can be either FastLinear, BnbLinear or GPTq
Linear next.
- All modeling code is explictly made for sharding, process group is
just no-ops for non sharded code (removes a lot of test cases)

@njhill, @yk FYI
generated_text was concatenated to the user prompt for legacy reason. We
want to remove this behaviour as we don't think it is useful and even
detrimonial to usability.
We also remove the unused Vec.
