IQ3_S: a much better alternative to Q3_K (#5676)
* iq4_nl: squash commits for easier rebase

* Basics (quantize, dequantize)
* CUDA dequantize and dot product
* Slightly faster CUDA dot product (120 t/s)
* Switch to 6-bit scales
* Scalar dot product
* AVX2 dot product
* ARM_NEON dot product
* Works on metal, but still slow
* Slightly better Metal dot product
* Another small Metal improvement
* Metal dot product is getting there
* Faster CUDA dot product
* Add 1/8 ffn_down layers as Q5_K when no imatrix has been provided
* Report the actual bpw
* Add _xs mix that is 4.05 bpw for non-MoE models
* Remove IQ4_XS for now, slightly adjust kvalues_iq4nl
* AVX2 dot product uses Q8_0 instead of Q8_K
* Add to test-backend-ops
* Minor fix
* Also use use Q5_K for attn_output in MoE models
* Fixes after merging latest master
* Switching to blocks of 32
* AVX2 for blocks of 32
* Scaler dot product for blocks of 32
* ARM_NEON dot product for blocks of 32
* Metal kernels for blocks of 32
* Slightly faster Metal kernels

* Resurrecting iq3_xs

After all the experimentation, nothing was better than this.

* Minor PPL improvement via a block scale fudge factor

* Minor improvement via 3 neighbours

* iq3_xs: working scalar and AVX2 dot products

* iq3_xs: ARM_NEON dot product - works but extremely slow (10 t/s)

* iq3_xs: working Metal implementation

* Adding IQ3_M - IQ3_XS mix with mostly Q4_K

* iiq3_xs: a 3.4375 bpw variant

* iq3_xs: make CUDA work for new version

* iq3_xs: make scalar and AVX2 work for new version

* iq3_s: make ARM_NEON work with new version

* iq3_xs: make new version work on metal

Performance is very similar to Q3_K_S

* iq3_xs: tiny Metal speed improvement

* iq3_xs: tiny Metal speed improvement

* Fix stupid warning

* Q3_K_XS now uses a mix of IQ3_XS and IQ3_XXS

* iq3_xs: rename to iq3_s

* iq3_s: make tests pass

* Move Q3_K_XS mix to 3.25 bpw

* Attempt to fix failing tests

* Another attempt to fix the Windows builds

* Attempt to fix ROCm

* ROCm again

* iq3_s: partial fix for QK_K = 64

* iq3_s: make it work on metal for QK_K = 64

Pleasent surprise: the coding was super-block size independent,
so all it took was to delete some QK_K == 256 guards.

* Will this fix ROCm?
