Description

To be consistent with the other quants interleaving 4 rows.

I started the interleaved rows experiment with IQ4_NL and named the packing IQ4_NL_X4. But then I thought that _X4 is actually ambiguous. 4 times of what? We already have quants where 4 consecutive blocks are packed together into a larger "X4" block. Because of that I named all following interleaved rows quants using "_R4" (as in 4 rows). To be consistent with this naming convention this PR renames IQ4_NL_X4 to IQ4_NL_R4.
