* Multi-threading quantization.
Not much gain for simple quantizations, bit it will be important
for quantizations that require more CPU cycles.
* Multi-threading for quantize-stats
It now does the job in ~14 seconds on my Mac for
Q4_0, Q4_1 and Q4_2. Single-threaded it was taking
more than 2 minutes after adding the more elaborate
version of Q4_2.
* Reviewer comments
* Avoiding compiler confusion
After changing chunk_size to const int as suggested by
@ggerganov, clang and GCC starting to warn me that I don't
need to capture it in the lambda. So, I removed it from the
capture list. But that makes the MSVC build fail. So,
making it a constexpr to make every compiler happy.
* Still fighting with lambda captures in MSVC

[Accelerate](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate) is an Apple framework which can only be used on macOS, and the CMake build [ignores](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L102) the `LLAMA_ACCELERATE` variable when run on non-Apple platforms. This implies setting `LLAMA_ACCELERATE` is a no-op on Ubuntu and can be removed.
This will reduce visual noise in CI check results (in addition to reducing the number of checks we have to run for every PR). Right now every sanitized build is duplicated twice for no good reason (e.g., we have `CI / ubuntu-latest-cmake-sanitizer (ADDRESS, Debug, ON)` and `CI / ubuntu-latest-cmake-sanitizer (ADDRESS, Debug, OFF)`).
* Q4_2 quantization with rmse-optimized scale and quants
For quantize-stats we get
q4_2: rmse 0.00159301, maxerr 0.17480469, 95pct<0.0030, median<0.0012
For 7B perplexity with BLAS enabled we get 6.2038 after 655 chunks.
Quantization is slow (~90 seconds on my Mac for 7B) as not
multi-threaded as in PR #896.
* ggml : satisfy the sanitizer builds
Not sure why this makes them fail
* Better follow ggml conventions for function names
* Fixed type as per reviewer comment

On my Mac, the direct Q4_1 product is marginally slower
(~69 vs ~55 us for Q4_0). The SIMD-ified ggml version
is now almost 2X slower (~121 us).
On a Ryzen 7950X CPU, the direct product for Q4_1 quantization
is faster than the AVX2 implementation (~60 vs ~62 us).
