# 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)

Changes only the type from `bool` to `Option<Enum>` pretty much
everywhere.
- Use `Optional[str]` in Python (easier to manage than importing type
everywhere). Except for the cli to get proper validation
- Updated all models to handle gracefully new values. (Error out if
unknown value, or gptq since not implemented).
