llama : multi-threaded quantization (#1075)

* Multi-threading quantization.

Not much gain for simple quantizations, bit it will be important
for quantizations that require more CPU cycles.

* Multi-threading for quantize-stats

It now does the job in ~14 seconds on my Mac for
Q4_0, Q4_1 and Q4_2. Single-threaded it was taking
more than 2 minutes after adding the more elaborate
version of Q4_2.

* Reviewer comments

* Avoiding compiler confusion

After changing chunk_size to const int as suggested by
@ggerganov, clang and GCC starting to warn me that I don't
need to capture it in the lambda. So, I removed it from the
capture list. But that makes the MSVC build fail. So,
making it a constexpr to make every compiler happy.

* Still fighting with lambda captures in MSVC
