sampling : add XTC sampler (#9742)

* Initial XTC commit

Adds XTC sampler, not activated by default, but recommended settings by default.

* Cleanup

* Simplified chances calculation

To be more inline with the original implementation, chance is calculated once at the beginning.

* First fixes by comments

Still need to look into sorting

* Fixed trailing backspaces

* Fixed RNG to be reproduceable 

Thanks to @slaren for directions

* Fixed forgotten header

* Moved `min_keep` 

Moved from conditions to a simple check at the end.

* Fixed broken randomization

Thanks to @slaren for explanation

* Swapped sorting for a custom algorithm

Shifts tokens to remove the penalized ones, then puts the penalized at the back. Should make `min_keep` still viable.

* Algorithm rework

1. Scan token from top till the first non-penalizable
2. Remove the last captured token (the least probable above threshold)
3. Shift all tokens to override the remaining penalizable
4. Penalize and put them at the the bottom.

* Added XTC to `test-sampling`

* Simplified algorithm and more tests

* Updated info in common and args

* Merged back lost commits in common and arg

* Update dump info in common

* Fixed incorrect min_keep check

* Added XTC to README

* Renamed parameters, fixed info and defaults

* probability is at 0 by default, but XTC is included in sampling queue
* threshold higher than 0.5 switches XTC off

* Initial server support

* Added XTC to server UIs

* Fixed labels in old server UI

* Made algorithm safer and more readable

* Removed xtc_threshold_max

* Fixed arg after update

* Quick fixes by comments

* Simplified algorithm since threshold_max is removed

* Renamed random distribution

* Fixed tests and outdated README

* Small fixes

### XTC Sampling
- `--xtc-probability N`: Sets the chance for token removal (checked once on sampler start) (default: 0.0).
- `--xtc-threshold N`: Sets a minimum probability threshold for tokens to be removed (default: 0.1).
Exclude Top Choices (XTC) is a unique sampler that is designed to remove top tokens from consideration and avoid more obvious and repetitive outputs. With a chance of `xtc-probability` it searches for tokens with probabilities of `xtc-threshold` and above, then removes all such tokens except the least probable one.
By removing top tokens XTC can improve the variety of answers, break writing clichés and inhibit repition, since clichés and repeated phrases are usually more likely to appear. By keeping the last token above the threshold, XTC ensures that the answer is still coherent. XTC is meant to be used for creative tasks, but feel free to experiment with different settings for different models.
Being experimental and unique, XTC is disabled by default. The recommended combination of samplers is Min-P followed by XTC on its default settings: `--sampling-seq mx --min-p 0.02 --xtc-probability 0.5`.
Example usage: `--xtc-probability 0.5 --xtc-threshold 0.1`
### Logit Bias
- `-l TOKEN_ID(+/-)BIAS, --logit-bias TOKEN_ID(+/-)BIAS`: Modify the likelihood of a token appearing in the generated text completion.
