Text Generation Web UI Files

See the Multimodal Tutorial

Changes

• Add multimodal support to the UI and API
• With the llama.cpp loader (#7027). This was possible thanks to PR https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15108 to llama.cpp. Thanks @65a.
• With ExLlamaV3 through a new ExLlamaV3 loader (#7174). Thanks @Katehuuh.
• Add speculative decoding to the new ExLlamaV3 loader.
• Use ExLlamav3 instead of ExLlamav3_HF by default for EXL3 models, since it supports multimodal and speculative decoding.
• Support loading chat templates from chat_template.json files (EXL3/EXL2/Transformers models)
• Default max_tokens to 512 in the API instead of 16
• Better organize the right sidebar in the UI
• llama.cpp: Pass --swa-full to llama-server when streaming-llm is checked to make it work for models with SWA.

Bug fixes

• Fix getting the ctx-size for newer EXL3/EXL2/Transformers models
• Fix the exllamav2 loader ignoring add_bos_token
• Fix the color of italic text in chat messages
• Fix edit window and buttons in Messenger theme (#7100). Thanks @mykeehu.
