* Improve the handling of quantized weights
Handling of quantized weights was split between two mechanisms:
- For quantized checkpoints, we used the new weight loader
infrastructure.
- For quantization while loading (EETQ, FP8, bitsandbytes) we
instead relied on conditional in `get_linear`.
Weight loaders support context managers to selectively load
particular layers with different weight loaders, which is useful
for models like Idefics2 AWQ, which uses a quantized text model,
but unquantized vision and connector models. However, the context
manager would be overrided by `get_linear`, which string-checks
`quantizer`. Also, the context manager would not work with
EETQ, FP8, and bitsandbytes.
This change migrates all quantizers to the weight loader infrastructure.
This has several benefits:
- We can use context managers with all quantizers.
- All the implementation details move down to the quantizer layers,
`get_linear` does not need to know how to handle quantizer linear
layers.
- All quantizer weights are strongly typed, we don't pass around
raw tensors.
- We don't have to pass around the `quantizer` string everywhere.
