[GGUF] Fix Gemma3 quantization support
This commit implements complete GGUF quantization support for Gemma3 models with true Q4_0 compression, addressing gibberish output and enabling 50% memory reduction. Changes: 1. gguf_loader.py: Add gemma3_text -> gemma3 model type mapping 2. gemma3.py: - Add Gemma3 RMSNorm weight correction (-1.0 offset) - Fix qweight_type tensor shape (scalar -> [1]) - Fix F16 embedding handling (no reshape needed) - Enable GGUF quantization in linear layers - Handle UninitializedParameter for GGUF layers Key fixes: - RMSNorm correction: Gemma3 uses (1+weight) convention but GGUF stores full values, requiring -1.0 subtraction - F16 embeddings: GGUF raw data is already in PyTorch layout, preventing data corruption from unnecessary reshape operations - qweight_type shape: GGUF layers expect shape [1] not scalar [] Tested on: - 8 Gemma3 variants (1B-27B parameters) - Both instruction-tuned and pretrained versions - Q4_0 quantization format - 100% success rate with coherent text generation Fixes #14753, #15480 Signed-off-by: Luciano Martins <lucianommartins@users.noreply.github.com>
