* Replace `is_float8_tensor` with `is_quantized_tensor`

Replace free function `is_float8_tensor` with `is_quantized_tensor` in `_common.py` and use it throughout the `ops` codebase to check if a tensor is a (possibly internal) quantized tensor

* Pass next and previous op quantizers directly to op_forward and fuser_forward

Change interface of `fuser_forward` and `op_forward` to no longer take preceding and following ops and instead take the following op's input quantizer and preceding op's input gradient's quantizer directly

* Remove use redundant `detach` in `BasicLinear`

Remove use of `detach` in `BasicLinear` for improved performance (enabled by not passing prev_op to backward)

* Handle saving internal tensors

Handle saving internal tensors in `_OperationFuserAutogradFunction` using `prepare_for_saving` and `restore_from_saved`
Signed-off-by: Jan Bielak <jbielak@nvidia.com>

* Use internal tensors

Enable use of internal tensors in `BasicLinear` quantizers and fix issues resulting from internal tensors not having methods that regular tensors have
