feat: FP8 and NVFP4 checkpoint support (dequantize, surgery in float, BF16 output)

Point obliteratus at an FP8 or NVFP4 checkpoint and it just works:
the loader detects the format from config.json + safetensors metadata
(no weight loads), dequantizes shard-by-shard to a temporary BF16 copy,
then runs the normal float pipeline and saves BF16.

Supported layouts:
- FP8 DeepSeek-style block-wise (weight_scale_inv + weight_block_size)
- FP8 per-channel / per-tensor (compressed-tensors, ModelOpt)
- NVFP4 ModelOpt (uint8 nibbles + FP8 group scales + FP32 global),
  including MIXED_PRECISION checkpoints (FP8 mixer + NVFP4 experts)
- NVFP4 compressed-tensors (reciprocal scales)

Design:
- New pure-torch obliteratus/models/quant_dequant.py; no new deps.
  NVFP4 unpack uses torch.float4_e2m1fn_x2 when a runtime probe proves
  it works, else a chunked nibble LUT (bounds transient int64 index
  memory; a naive implementation OOMed at 96GB on a 30B model).
- Scale keys are dropped only when their base weight exists in the
  same shard, so legitimate params ending in _scale (logit_scale et al.)
  survive.
- Unsupported schemes (fbgemm, quanto, W4A4, ...) fail loudly at load,
  naming the scheme.
- Surgery guards: float8 or packed uint8 reaching _dequantize_weight or
  any fused-MoE path raises RuntimeError instead of silently upcasting
  (bitsandbytes quant_state params are explicitly excluded).
- Save path strips quantization metadata and logs that output is BF16;
  re-quantization for serving is out of scope (llm-compressor/modelopt).
- CLI: new --trust-remote-code flag; help text documents auto-detection.

Validated end-to-end on 1x A100-80GB (see PR description):
Nemotron-3-Nano-Omni-30B NVFP4 (mixed) and FP8, Qwen3-8B-FP8
(block-wise) vs Qwen3-8B BF16 baseline (perplexity 4.23 vs 4.33).

Quantization roughly halves the GPU count at each step down. A 70B model that needs 3x A100-80GB in bf16 fits on 2 in int8 or 1 in int4.
**FP8 and NVFP4 checkpoints are supported automatically.** No flag needed — the loader detects the format from the checkpoint's `quantization_config`, dequantizes the weights to float (BF16 by default) shard-by-shard, runs the normal pipeline, and saves the output as plain BF16:
| Format | Schemes detected |
|--------|------------------|
| FP8 | DeepSeek-style block-wise (`weight_scale_inv` + `weight_block_size`), compressed-tensors per-channel, ModelOpt FP8 |
| NVFP4 | ModelOpt (`weight` + `weight_scale` + `weight_scale_2`), compressed-tensors NVFP4 |
Two things to know: peak VRAM is the **BF16 size** of the model (not the quantized size), and the output is saved as BF16 — re-quantize afterward with llm-compressor or modelopt if you want a quantized serving artifact. Other quantization schemes (fbgemm, quanto, W4A4) fail loudly with a message naming the scheme.
### GPU calculator
Not sure how many GPUs you need? The `gpu-calc` command estimates the minimum GPU count for any model, accounting for weight memory, activation overhead, and CUDA context:

"""Dequantize FP8 and NVFP4 checkpoints to plain float weights.
OBLITERATUS performs weight surgery in float space. Checkpoints stored in
FP8 (DeepSeek block-wise or compressed-tensors per-channel) or NVFP4
(ModelOpt or compressed-tensors) are detected at load time and dequantized
to the requested float dtype before the model is handed to the pipeline.
Output is always saved as plain float (BF16 by default) — re-quantization
is deliberately out of scope.
Pure torch + safetensors; no new dependencies.

``<name>.weight`` float8_e4m3fn, shape (M, N)
``<name>.weight_scale_inv`` float32, shape (ceil(M/128), ceil(N/128))
dequant: w * scale_inv broadcast over ``weight_block_size`` blocks.
FP8 per-channel (compressed-tensors, ``num_bits: 8, type: "float"``):
``<name>.weight`` float8_e4m3fn, shape (M, N)
``<name>.weight_scale`` float32, shape (M, 1) or scalar
dequant: w * weight_scale.
NVFP4 (ModelOpt, ``quant_algo: "NVFP4"``):

byte along the input dim, low nibble first
``<name>.weight_scale`` float8_e4m3fn, shape (M, N/16) — one scale
per 16-element group
``<name>.weight_scale_2`` float32 scalar — global scale (amax/2688)
