Add Float8Tensor

Summary:
* Added Float8Tensor that's using fbgemm kernels:
    * per row activation + per row weight linear calling torch.ops.fbgemm.f8f8bf16_rowwise kernel
    * per tensor activation + per tensor weight quant linear calling torch.ops.fbgemm.f8f8bf16 kernel
    * per row activation + per row weight bmm calling torch.ops.fbgemm.f8f8bf16_rowwise_batched kernel
* Added DynamicActivationQuantizationWrapper (trying to have a better name than the previous to_activation_quantized wrapper) for dynamic activation quantization
* Added AOBaseTensorConfig and Float8TensorConfig to store the activation config (instead of a callable)
* Added PackingFormat to represent different packing format (plain, preshuffled etc.)
* Added common folder to host the above objects
* Reusing Float8DynamicActivationFloat8WeightConfig for the above, not using _scaled_mm right now since it does not
support bmm op yet, could move to use scaled_mm in the future if it's more mature: pytorch/pytorch#157950
