Alpaca Lora 4bit

Made some adjust for the code in peft and gptq for llama, and make it possible for lora finetuning with a 4 bits base model. The same adjustment can be made for 2, 3 and 8 bits.
~Still numerically unstable.~ Resolved.
Reconstruct fp16 matrix from 4bit data and call torch.matmul drastically increased the inference speed.

Requirements

gptq-for-llama: https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
peft: https://github.com/huggingface/peft.git

Install

copy files from GPTQ-for-LLaMa into GPTQ-for-LLaMa path and re-compile cuda extension
copy files from peft/tuners/lora.py to peft path, replace it

Finetuning

The same finetune script from https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora can be used.
