sugunav14 02c5f292f0 GPTQ Lite implementation (#555)
## What does this PR do?

**Type of change:** New feature <!-- Use one of the following: Bug fix,
new feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->

**Overview:** Adds support for GPTQ algorithm. This PR implements a
modified version of the official GPTQ algorithm; the key difference is
that updated activations from each layer are not used for hessian
computation

## Usage
<!-- You can potentially add a usage example below. -->
Modify "algorithm" field in quant_cfg to "gptq_lite".

Note: Does not currently work with AWQ

```python
# Add a code snippet demonstrating how to use this
```

## Testing
<!-- Mention how have you tested your change if applicable. -->

- [x] Added unit tests to test helper functions + e2e flow
- [x] Perplexity and GPQA results

| Model       | Qformat               | Perplexity wikitext2 | GPQA |
|-------------|------------------------|------------------------|------|
| Qwen3-8B | INT4 weight only (modelopt + amax/7) no GPTQ | 10.75 | n/a
|
| Qwen3-8B | INT4 weight only (modelopt + amax/7) | **10.56** | 0.388 |
| Qwen3-8B | INT4 weight only + FP-Quant hessians + amax/7.5 | 10.25 |
**0.449** |
| Qwen3-8B | INT4 weight only (FP-Quant) | 10.24 | 0.46 |
| Qwen3-8B | NVFP4 static weight only | 10.25 | n/a |
| Qwen3-8B | NVFP4 static weight only no GPTQ | 10.25 | n/a |
| Qwen3-0.6B | NVFP4 static weight only | **22.75** | n/a |
| Qwen3-0.6B    | NVFP4 dynamic weight only |  23.50          | n/a   |
| Qwen3-0.6B | NVFP4 static weight only with FP-Quant hessians | 22.0 |
n/a |
| Qwen3-0.6B | NVFP4 static weight only no GPTQ | 24.25 | n/a |

Conclusions from results
- Perplexity remains the same or shows improvement with Modelopt
implementation. The magnitude of improvement is lesser in modelopt when
compared to FP-Quant
- GPQA shows no improvement with modelopt, but shows improvement with
FP-Quant
