llama.cpp adds MiniMax model support

The latest llama.cpp update expands its functionality by integrating the MiniMax-Text-01 and MiniMaxM1ForCausalLM models, enhancing its role in causal language modeling. This release focuses on refining the MiniMax-Text-01 model by eliminating state transpose operations and implementing a logits mask to manage zero-valued embeddings. These adjustments aim to streamline the token sampling process and boost model efficiency. While no new model architectures are introduced, the update significantly refines existing processes, making llama.cpp more robust and efficient for developers working with these specific models.
