/**
* Quantizer is the class for storing all the information
* that's necessary to perform quantize and dequantize
* operation.
*
* We might have different types of quantization schemes and this is
* the base class for all quantizers.
*
* QTensorImpl will hold a pointer to Quantizer so that we can support
* different quantization schemes on Tensor.
*
* For example, the most common quantization scheme, Affine Quantization,
* requires scale and zero_point as parameters, we'll store scale and zero_point
* inside the instance and we can use it to quantize a float Tensor or
* dequantize a quantized Tensor.
*
* When you add new types of leaf Quantizer class, please also
* make sure to add a corresponding QScheme enum since
* they should have one to one mapping.
*
* Note about intrusive_ptr:
* Quantized Tensor holds an intrusive_ptr to Quantizer, and multiple Tensor can
* share the same Quantizer. Quantizer should be immutable.
