* soft_cap_max: initial CPU version of fused softcap + soft_max
With this vanilla CPU implementation I'm already getting a ~3% speedup
for Gemma-2-9b and a prompt of 8192 tokens.
* soft_cap_max: WIP - something is wrong with CUDA
* soft_cap_max: looks good on CPU and CUDA
* Add softcap to flash attention
Just CPU and CUDA for now (but, as we know, flash attention
on the CPU is useless in llama.cpp).
On CUDA this improves PP performance quite a bit, especially for
long contexts. E.g., for PP-16384, I now get 3777 t/s.
Without this change, one cannot use FA, and one gets 2300 t/s
(after fusing softcap and softmax), or 2000 t/s without the
fused softcap+softmax.
In comparison, mainline llama.cpp has PP-16384 = 1549 t/s before
PR-8542 (where Johannes Gaessler has also added softcap to FA),
and PP-16384 = 3097 t/s after this PR.

* Softcap: WIP
Fuses scale + tanh + scale as used for softcaping in some
models.
Just CPU for now. ~1.4% for PP-512 on Gemma2-9b, no effect on TG.
Somewhat surprisingly the improvement does not increase as I
go to longer contexts. Gemma2 does softcap on K*Q, which grows
quadratically with context length, so I would have thought
the benefit from fusing scale, tanh, scale would increase.
But no, no luck.
* softcap: CUDA
* softcap: CUDA
~1% speedup for Gemma2-9b
* softcap: Metal and NEON
About 1% speedup.
* Simdified gelu
Gives ~1% speedup for Gemma2-9b prompt processing on AVX512/AVX2.
It looks like the gelu operation is memory bound on my CPU's
after SIMD-ifying it. By not using the 128 kb gelu lookup table
we gain a small advantage.
On the M2-Max the lookup table is slightly faster than the SIMD
version, so left the lookup table for ARM_NEON.
* softcap, tanh: avoid NaNs for large arguments (AVX2, AVX512)
Not that I have encountered this in practice, but just to be sure.
This does it for AVX512 and AVX2, still need a guard for ARM_NEON.
* llama-bench: add ability to turn off warmup runs
So we don't need to wait forever on, e.g., benchmarks involving
long contexts.

For LLaMA-3.1 models:
* It is better to quantize all of attn_v with iq3_k instead of
half of attn_v with iq4_k
* Quantizing attn_output with iq3_k results in a larger PPL decrease
compared to what one expects from the added bpw.

* iq2_tn: TriLM specific 2.0625 bpw quantization
Quantize/dequantize/scale dot product.
I get 46 t/s for the TriLM-3.9B with any SIMD!
Finally a compiler doing a decent job auto-vectorizing the
scalar implementation.
* iq2_tn: AVX512
Just reusing the k-quants template gets us to PP-512 = 376 t/s,
TG-128 = 47.6 t/s for TriLM-3.9B.
* iq2_tn: AVX512
With this tweak we get to PP-512 = 431 t/s.
* iq2_tn: AVX512
With this tweak we get TG-128 = 19.58 / 35.18 t/s for 1 / 2 threads.
At 4 threads we saturate at 48.41 t/s, and then performance slowly
degrades with increasing number of threads.
* iq2_tn: AVX2
PP512 = 440 t/s on the Ryzen-5975WX.
We should be able to do better.
* iq2_tn: initial NEON version
* iq2_tn: NEON
For TriLM-3.9B running on the M2-Max we get PP-512 = 193.5 t/s,
TG-128 = 75.5 t/s. This is in line with what we have for
iq2_bn ant 3.3B Bitnet.
* iq2_tn: Metal
For TriLM-3.9B on a 30-core M2-Max we get PP-512 = 890 t/s,
TG-128 = 98.5 t/s.
* iq2_tn: CUDA
For TriLM-3.9B running on RTX-4080 we get PP-512 = 9936 t/s,
TG-128 = 299.2 t/s.
* iq2_tn: AVX2 PP improvement
We now get PP-512 = 490.73 t/s for TriLM-3.9B on the Ryzen-5975WX.
We have PP-512 = 636.61 t/s for Bintnet-3B quantized with iq2_bn.
Bintnet-3B is actually 3.4B, TriLM-3.9B is 3.99B, so we would
expect 3.43/3.99 * 636 = 546 t/s, so it seems we still have something
that is not quite optimal in iq2_tn.
* iq2_tn: small NEON improvement
For TriLM-3.9B we now get PP-512 = 206.6 t/s and TG-128 = 76.4 t/s.

* iq4_k: basics
* quantize/dequantize works
* CUDA dequantize works and one can run PPL calcs. I get
PPL = 6.5258 for LlaMA-3.1-8B, which is 1.77% above fp16.
In comparison, q4_K_S (same size) is 2.88% above fp16.
* TG on CUDA does not work. Johannes has changed the way i-quant dot
products are done, so need to sort out what he had in mind
* iqk_mul_mat is not implemented.
* iq4_k: TG now works on CUDA
* iq4_k: AVX512 implementation
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 182.6 t/s, TG-128 = 13.6 t/s,
so almost the same as q4_K_S.
* iq4_k: AVX2 implementation
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 203.1 t/s, TG-128 = 12.9 t/s
on the Ryzen-5975X.
* iq4_k: NEON implementation
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 60.7 t/s, TG-128 = 25.0 t/s
on the M2-Max. TG is on par with q4_K_S, PP is ~10% slower.
* iq4_k: Metal implementation
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 445 t/s, TG-128 = 46.3 t/s
on a 30-core M2-Max GPU. This is to be compared with (currently)
PP-512 = 460 t/s, TG-128 = 51 t/s for q4_K_S.
* iq4_k: scalar dot product

* Merging mainline - WIP
* Merging mainline - WIP
AVX2 and CUDA appear to work.
CUDA performance seems slightly (~1-2%) lower as it is so often
the case with llama.cpp/ggml after some "improvements" have been made.
* Merging mainline - fix Metal
* Remove check
