As more and more people begin to use Baichuan's open-source models, the
influence of Baichuan models is growing, especially in China. Many
community members are interested in adding support for Baichuan models
to TGI. Meanwhile, Baichuan is a very open company, and in the future,
it plans to open-source more and more models, taking all this into
consideration, we would like to add support for the Baichuan model to
TGI. To do this, we need to make some changes, which we hope can be
merged into the main branch of TGI. In the future, we would be happy to
help maintain support for Baichuan models in TGI. We sincerely hope that
our pull request can be accepted. Thank you.

By the way, the changes of this time mainly for supporting Baichuan-7B.

Close #589 #602

- Look at `transformers` base class to check for
  `_key_to_ignore_on_load_missing` or `_tied_weights` which are the
  standard attributes to select the keys to NOT save on disk (since they
  are ignored)

- Modified safetensors code (to be reflected in safetensors even if it's
  an internal function).
  
- Will not work for trust_remote_code=True repos (like santacoder).

Should help with :
https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/555
and : https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/pull/501
and https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/556
and
https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/482#issuecomment-1623713593

Should be more robust to shared tensors (ok when using
      `from_pretrained). But forcing us to add new checks in our loading
      code (since the chosen key to keep might be different from
      `transformers`).
