ggml : unit test for quantization functions (#953)

* Unit test for quantization functions

Use the ggml_internal_get_quantize_fn function to loop through all
quantization formats and run a sanity check on the result.

Also add a microbenchmark that times these functions directly without
running the rest of the GGML graph.

* test-quantize-fns: CI fixes

Fix issues uncovered in CI
 - need to use sizes divisible by 32*8 for loop unrolling
 - use intrinsic header that should work on Mac

* test-quantize: remove

Per PR comment, subsumed by test-quantize-fns

* test-quantize: fix for q8_0 intermediates
