Move quantized weight handling out of the `Weights` class (#2194)
Quantized weights were loaded in the `Weights` class, but this was
getting quite unwieldy, where every higher level method to load weights
was a long conditional to cover all the different quantizers.

This change moves loading of quantized weights out of the `Weights`
class. This is done by defining a simple `WeightsLoader` interface
that is implemented by `Exl2WeightsLoader`, `GPTQWeightsLoader`,
and `MarlinWeightsLoader`. These implementations are in the quantizers'
respective modules. The `Weights` class provides the low-level load
operations (such as loading tensors or sharded tensors), but delegates
loads that need quantizer-specific weight processing to a loader. The
loaders still use the low-level functionality provided by `Weights`.

I initially tried making a hierarchy where a class like `GPTQWeights`
would inherit from `Weights`. But it is not very flexible (e.g. does
not work well with the new weight storage mock used in tests) and
the implicit indirections made the code harder to follow.

Daniël de Kok 36dd16017c Add support for exl2 quantization
Mostly straightforward, changes to existing code:

* Wrap quantizer parameters in a small wrapper to avoid passing
  around untyped tuples and needing to repack them as a dict.
* Move scratch space computation to warmup, because we need the
  maximum input sequence length to avoid allocating huge
  scratch buffers that OOM.
