feat(quant): add GPTQ/AWQ quantized checkpoint support (fixes #70)

[drunkcoding]

Summary

• Fixes Evaluating Mixtral-8×7B-Instruct-v0.1-offloading-demo on MMLU #70 — quantized MoE checkpoints now load correctly instead of silently corrupting weights
• Adds GPTQ and AWQ quantized model support with conditional tensor casting
• Fail-fast with actionable error messages for unsupported formats (HQQ, bitsandbytes, GGUF, EXL2)

Problem

MoE-Infinity unconditionally cast all checkpoint tensors to the model's float dtype during loading. This destroyed packed integer representations in quantized checkpoints (GPTQ qweight/qzeros/g_idx, AWQ qweight/scales), causing silent weight corruption. Issue #70 reported this for the HQQ-quantized Mixtral variant.

Changes

New: moe_infinity/utils/quantization.py

• detect_quantization() — identifies quant format from config attributes or checkpoint files (quantize_config.json, quant_config.json, quantization_config.json, .gguf files)
• validate_quantization_support() — raises ValueError with actionable messages for unsupported formats
• should_cast_tensor() — decides per-tensor whether to cast to model dtype (skips packed quant tensors)
• QuantizationInfo dataclass — carries method, bits, group_size, support status

Modified: moe_infinity/runtime/model_offload.py

• Tensor casting loop now conditionally skips cast for quantized tensors (qweight, qzeros, scales, g_idx)
• GPTQ detection hardened: uses detect_quantization() instead of fragile hasattr check, handles file-based config
• Added AWQ conversion path with optional autoawq dependency (clear ImportError if missing)
• Clear error when optimum not installed for GPTQ models

Modified: moe_infinity/entrypoints/big_modeling.py

• Early quant detection after AutoConfig.from_pretrained() — fails before expensive snapshot_download()
• Post-download re-detection for file-only formats (GGUF)

New: requirements-optional.txt

• autoawq>=0.2.0 as optional dependency for AWQ support

Supported Quantized Models

Format	Models Covered	Status
GPTQ	Mixtral, Qwen3-30B-A3B (official), DeepSeek	✅ Supported
AWQ	Mixtral, Qwen3, DeepSeek-V3, GPT-OSS-120B	✅ Supported
HQQ	Issue #70 model	❌ Clear error
bitsandbytes	Various	❌ Clear error

Backward Compatibility

• should_cast_tensor(name, None) returns True for all tensors — existing full-precision path unchanged
• detect_quantization() returns None for standard models — no new code paths activated
• DeepSeek V3 float8_e4m3fn special case verified untouched
• No new required dependencies added to requirements.txt
