Frida Hou adcce614cb add local hessian calibration (#788)
## 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:** 
Add a new calibration method for weight scale search. It considers
activation information by weighing scale candidates with local hessian
matrix. Initial experiments with Qwen3 8B NVFP4 shows improvements.

## Usage
<!-- You can potentially add a usage example below. -->

Use `NVFP4_W4A4_WEIGHT_LOCAL_HESSIAN_CFG` quantization config for
quantization and evaluation.

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

## Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"
