A few notes:
- If your model shares embedding/unembedding weights (like Llama1B and Llama3B do), you can add `--use_shared_embedding` to take advantage of this and reduce memory. When this option is enabled, you can specify whether embeddings are quantized with weight zeros or not by specifying a third argument. For example, `-E "torchao:4,32,true"` means that the embedding is quantized to 4-bits with group_size=32 and uses weight zeros (this is the default behavior if you simply use `-E "torchao:4,32"`), whereas `-E "torchao:4,32,false"` means that the embedding is quantized to 4-bits with group_size=32, but is quantized with scales-only. If `--use_shared_embedding` is specified, the unembedding (i.e., the final linear layer) is quantized in the same way, but also uses 8-bit dynamically quantized activations.

Not for this PR, but what's the plan for updating our arg selection scheme for quant?

-E "torchao:4,32,true isn't user friendly

You'd never need to do that. true is the default (and existing behavior), so you could continue to use -E"torchao:4,32".

I'd make this a bit more clear that shared is only for torchao kernels, or torchao:

It's under the torchao section of the docs.

Why did we change the order of the source transform?

shared_embedding must be applied before linear. So I changed order to embedding first, and linear second. I put a code comment to this effect as well.
