Implemented self-compression QAT and linear layer from this paper as a solution to #658

If there are more features or more integration to be done with the current QAT schemes in TorchAO (self-compression seems orthogonal right now), let me know.

Hi @lliangthomas, thanks for your contribution. Have you had a chance to do any full training runs with evaluation results? I'm inclined to move this under torchao/prototype since it's a pretty experimental technique. I took a look at the paper and it seems they only evaluated on CIFAR-10, which is tiny and not representative of modern datasets. Also I'm not sure if it's working in its current state since there's no backward pass yet. Do you mind adding this and some experimental results?

quant_max = torch.maximum(2. ** -self.float_exponents * self.weight, -2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1))
quant_weight = torch.minimum(quant_max, 2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1) - 1)

can we rewrite this as follows so it's easier to read?

qmax = 2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1) - 1
qmin = -2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1)
qweight = torch.clamp(2. ** -self.float_exponents * self.weight, qmin, qmax)

quant_max = torch.maximum(2. ** -self.float_exponents * self.weight, -2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1))
quant_weight = torch.minimum(quant_max, 2. ** (self.bit_depth.relu() - 1) - 1)
rounded_weight = (quant_weight.round() - quant_weight).detach() + quant_weight
return F.linear(x, 2. ** self.float_exponents * rounded_weight)

What does the backward pass look like? I think we need to wrap all of this in an autograd.Function and define a backward pass since this has non-differentiable ops like round()

This feels like a pretty experimental feature. I think this belongs better to a separate folder under torchao/prototype
