* ggml: aarch64: implement smmla kernel for q8_0_q8_0 quantized gemm
armv8.2-a and above supports MMLA instructions that have higher
throughput than DOT. this commit adds mmla kernel for
q8_0_q8_0 gemm. The feature is enabled if the platform supports
"__ARM_FEATURE_MATMUL_INT8"
On AWS Graviton3 processors this kernel resulted up to 1.5x
improvement for prompt evaluation throughput compared to the
default sdot kernel.
* ggml: aarch64: implement smmla kernel for q4_0_q8_0 quantized gemm

* ggml: aarch64: implement smmla kernel for q4_1_q8_1 quantized gemm
armv8.2-a and above supports MMLA instructions that have higher
throughput than DOT. this commit adds mmla kernel for
q4_1_q8_1 gemm. The feature is enabled if the platform supports
"__ARM_FEATURE_MATMUL_INT8"
On AWS Graviton3 processors this kernel resulted up to 1.5x
improvement for prompt evaluation throughput compared to the
default sdot kernel.
* ggml: update unit tests for the new vec_dot interface
* llama.cpp: add MATMUL_INT8 capability to system_info
* Generalize quantize_fns for simpler FP16 handling
* Remove call to ggml_cuda_mul_mat_get_wsize
* ci : disable FMA for mac os actions

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).
