Adds support for llama.cpp 3-bit K-quants (Q3_K). This is a 3.4375-bits-per-weight quantization scheme similarly using block and super-block scales. When quantized with Q3_K, DeepSeek-V3 (650GB) becomes 269GB. Using MHA, I get 3.2 tok/s on my test machine (AWS r6a.12xlarge, 16 threads) compared to 4.01 tok/s on Q2_K but higher perplexity.
