* convert-hf : support q8_0 conversion
* convert-hf : add missing ftype
This was messing with the checksums otherwise.
* convert-hf : add missing ftype to Baichuan and Xverse
I didn't notice these on my first pass.
* convert.py: Outfile default name change and additional metadata support
* convert.py: don't stringify Metadata load method output
* convert.py: typo fix
* convert.py: fix metadata format to sync with LLM_KV_NAMES in llama.cpp
* A little documentation that shares my quick tips for working in the repository.
* Update startup-testing-debugging.md
* script that shows a menu of tests to pick from & run the debugger on
* debug-test.sh: Refactor CLI help message
* debug-test.sh: documentation update
* debug-test.sh: CLI Help output corrections
* debug-test.sh: minor doc fix

* convert-hf : support bfloat16 conversion
* gguf-py : flake8 fixes
* convert-hf : add missing space after comma
* convert-hf : get bit-exact same output as ./quantize
The quantization version was missing.
* convert-hf : don't round bf16 NANs
* convert-hf : save some memory with np.int16 intermediate bf16 weights
* convert-hf : more closely match llama.cpp with which weights to keep in f32
* convert-hf : add --outtype auto-f16
A reason for this to exist is for model quantizers who want an initial
GGUF with the most fidelity to the original model while still using
a 16-bit float type instead of 32-bit floats.
* convert-hf : remove a semicolon because flake8 doesn't like it
It's a reflex from when programming in C/C++, I guess.
* convert-hf : support outtype templating in outfile name
* convert-hf : rename --outtype auto-f16 to --outtype auto
