llama : add grammar-based sampling (ggerganov#1773)

* llama, main : constrain sampling to grammar * allow loading grammar from file * fix whitespace errors * handle & print parser errors * add comments to grammar syntax and allow newlines where unambiguous * add missing include * support alternates in root rule * fix bugs with empty token and EOS * adjust JSON grammar * remove swp file * rewrite ternary expressions Co-authored-by: Henri Vasserman <[email protected]> * use struct for grammar elements and add Unicode support * add unicode escapes * add inverse char ranges * only sample full tokens (no peeking or truncation) * llama : minor style changes blindly applied in online editor - hopefully I didn't break something * update help text * add warning message if EOS is disabled --------- Co-authored-by: Henri Vasserman <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Georgi Gerganov <[email protected]>
