Issue: When the third-party package is not installed, whenever we need
to `pip install <package>` the ImportError is raised.
But sometimes, the `ValueError` or `ModuleNotFoundError` is raised. It
is bad for consistency.
Change: replaced the `ValueError` or `ModuleNotFoundError` with
`ImportError` when we raise an error with the `pip install <package>`
message.
Note: Ideally, we replace all `try: import... except... raise ... `with
helper functions like `import_aim` or just use the existing
[langchain_core.utils.utils.guard_import](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/utils/langchain_core.utils.utils.guard_import.html#langchain_core.utils.utils.guard_import)
But it would be much bigger refactoring. @baskaryan Please, advice on
this.
- **Description**:
- **add support for more data types**: by default `IpexLLM` will load
the model in int4 format. This PR adds more data types support such as
`sym_in5`, `sym_int8`, etc. Data formats like NF3, NF4, FP4 and FP8 are
only supported on GPU and will be added in future PR.
- Fix a small issue in saving/loading, update api docs
- **Dependencies**: `ipex-llm` library
- **Document**: In `docs/docs/integrations/llms/ipex_llm.ipynb`, added
instructions for saving/loading low-bit model.
- **Tests**: added new test cases to
`libs/community/tests/integration_tests/llms/test_ipex_llm.py`, added
config params.

- **Description**: `bigdl-llm` library has been renamed to
[`ipex-llm`](https://github.com/intel-analytics/ipex-llm). This PR
migrates the `bigdl-llm` integration to `ipex-llm` .
- **Issue**: N/A. The original PR of `bigdl-llm` is
