compressed-tensors is a safetensors extension for sparse, quantized
tensors. The format is more powerful than earlier AWQ/GPTQ/FP8
quantization, because

- Different quantizer configurations can be used for different targets.
- The format can specify input/output quantizers in addition to weight
  quantizers.
- Configurable exclusions for quantization.

This change adds a dependency on the `compressed-tensors` package for
its configuration parsing and layer matching functionality.

The following types of quantization are supported in this PR:

- W8A16 and W4A16 INT using GPTQ-Marlin kernels.
- W8A8 and W8A16 FP using FP8-Marlin and cutlass kernels.

Support for other quantization types will be added in subsequent PRs.

* Switch from fbgemm-gpu w8a8 scaled matmul to vLLM/marlin-kernels

Performance and accuracy of these kernels are on par (tested with Llama
70B and 405B). Removes a dependency and resolves some stability issues
we have been seeing.

* Update test snapshots

* Improve support for GPUs with capability < 8

- For models that cannot use flashinfer, use flash-attn v1 + paged
  attention for models with a compute capability older than 8.
- Disable prefix caching when using paged attention.
- When using flash-attn v1, pass the key/value, rather than the
  cache, since v1 cannot use block tables.

* nix: add flash-attn-v1 to the server environment

* Move disabling prefix caching into the block of exceptions

* Capability as `usize`s

* Move to moe-kernels package and switch to common MoE layer

This change introduces the new `moe-kernels` package:

- Add `moe-kernels` as a dependency.
- Introduce a `SparseMoELayer` module that can be used by MoE
  models.
- Port over Mixtral and Deepseek.

* Make `cargo check` pass

* Update runner

Enables LoRA support.

Updates tgi-nix input:

- Move Torch closer to upstream by building against MKL.
- Remove compute capability 8.7 from Torch (Jetson).
- Sync nixpkgs cumpute capabilities with Torch (avoids
  compiling too mana capabilities for MAGMA).
- Use nixpkgs configuration passed through by `tgi-nix`.

* nix: pure server and support both pure and impure devShells

* nix: remove unused poetry2nix input

It is not wired up and we now have a pure server.

* nix: add ipdb to impure devshell
