k-quants : support for super-block size of 64 (#2001)

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q6_K scalar and AVX2 works

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q4_K scalar and AVX2 works

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q2_K scalar and AVX2 works. Q2_K is way too slow (it is actually slower
than the scalar implementation)

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q3_K scalar and AVX2 works.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q5_K scalar and AVX2 works, and with that all
k_quants are done on AVX2 and scalar

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q6_K working on CUDA. Cannot make it run quite as gast as
with super-blocks with 256 weigths: 8% slower on 4080,
20% slower on the 1660 (but there we fit 1 less layer on the
GPU because pf the larger model size), so some fraction of
these 20% is due to that,

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q4_K working on CUDA. ~10% slower on GTX-1660,
16% slower on 4080.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q2_K working on CUDA. ~3% slower on GTX-1660,
10% slower on 4080.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q3_K working on CUDA.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q5_K working on CUDA, and with this CUDA is done.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q6_K working on ARM_NEON

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q4_K working on ARM_NEON, but quite a bit slower than 256 weights

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q2_K working on ARM_NEON, but quite a bit slower than 256 weights

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q3_K working on ARM_NEON, but quite a bit slower than 256 weights.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q5_K working on ARM_NEON, but quite a bit slower than 256 weights.

With that, we have full support for ARM_NEON, although
performance is not quite there.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Slightly more efficient Q3_K and Q5_K

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Another small improvement for Q3_K and Q5_K on ARM_NEON

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Yet another speedup for Q5_K on ARM_NEON.
We are now within 10% of the QK_K = 256 version.

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

* We are able to pass preprocessor macros to the Metal
  compiler
* Q6_K works and is actually slightly more efficient than
  the QK_K = 256 version (25.2 ms vs 25.8 ms)

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q4_K works on Metal and is actually slightly faster
than QK_K = 256 (21.95 ms vs 24.0 ms).

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q2_K works on Metal and is very slightly faster
than QK_K = 256 (23.8 ms vs 24.2 ms).

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q3_K works on Metal and is slightly faster
than QK_K = 256 (26.6 ms vs 28.3 ms).

* k_quants: WIP super-blocks with 64 weights

Q5_K works on Metal and is slightly faster
than QK_K = 256 (23.7 ms vs 26.3 ms).

* k_quants: call them _K, not _k, also on Metal

* k_quants: correctly define QK_K in llama.cpp

* Fixed bug in q4_K quantization added with the 64-block addition

* Simplify via lambda

* k_quants: swicth Q3_K to 4-bit scales when QK_K = 64

Otherwise there isn't much benefit from this
quantization type. There is some very slight loss
in accuracy, but we reduce size by ~7%.
E.g., for OpenLLaMA-3B, Q3_K_S perplexity is
8.6131 with 8-bit scales and 8.6352 with 4-bit,
while file size decreases from 1.53G to 1.44G.

* k_quants: switch Q4_K to 4-bit scales when QK_K = 64

 Here the loss in accuracy is greater than for Q3_K,
 but the Q4_K points still move further to the left on
 the perplexity vs size curve.

* k_quants: forgot to add the Metal changes in last commit

* k_quants: change Q5_K to be type 0 when QK_K = 64

Still needs AVX2 implementation

* k_quants: AVX2 implementation for new 64-weight Q5_K

* k_quants: 10% faster ARM_NEON Q5_K dot product

* k_quants: fixed issue caused by merging with master
