gguf-py : decouple adding metadata from writing in GGUFWriter (#7827)
Main changes of this PR is to consolidate GGUFWriter.add_key and GGUFWriter.add_val into GGUFWriter.add_key_value. 

In addition use_temp_file is now opt-in instead of opt-out defaulting to False.

Also GGUFWriter now does not require output file name until when actually writing to it.

And GGUFWriter doesn't really need to eagerly prepare the data layout of the metadata

  2. Create a tag named gguf-vx.x.x where x.x.x is the semantic version number.
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags

Then, follow these steps to release a new version:

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Build the package:
python -m build
  1. Upload the generated distribution archives:
python -m twine upload dist/*
