community[minor]: weight only quantization with intel-extension-for-transformers. (#14504)
Support weight only quantization with intel-extension-for-transformers.
[Intel® Extension for
Transformers](https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-transformers)
is an innovative toolkit to accelerate Transformer-based models on Intel
platforms, in particular effective on 4th Intel Xeon Scalable processor
[Sapphire
Rapids](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/xeon-accelerated/4th-gen-xeon-scalable-processors.html)
(codenamed Sapphire Rapids). The toolkit provides the below key
features:

* Seamless user experience of model compressions on Transformer-based
models by extending [Hugging Face
transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) APIs and
leveraging [Intel® Neural
Compressor](https://github.com/intel/neural-compressor)
* Advanced software optimizations and unique compression-aware runtime.
* Optimized Transformer-based model packages.
*
[NeuralChat](https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-transformers/blob/main/intel_extension_for_transformers/neural_chat),
a customizable chatbot framework to create your own chatbot within
minutes by leveraging a rich set of plugins and SOTA optimizations.
*
[Inference](https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-transformers/blob/main/intel_extension_for_transformers/llm/runtime/graph)
of Large Language Model (LLM) in pure C/C++ with weight-only
quantization kernels.
This PR is an integration of weight only quantization feature with
intel-extension-for-transformers.

Unit test is in
lib/langchain/tests/integration_tests/llm/test_weight_only_quantization.py
The notebook is in
docs/docs/integrations/llms/weight_only_quantization.ipynb.
The document is in
docs/docs/integrations/providers/weight_only_quantization.mdx.
