llama : dynamic temperature sampling (#4972)

* implemented dynamic temperature sampling from koboldcpp

* removed trailing whitespace

* removed unused temp parameter in llama_sample_entropy

* exposed exponent_val in dynamic temp sampler

* added debug check for printf statements

* use nullptr in llama_sample_softmax call during llama_sample_entropy

this avoids counting the time taken stats twice

* return earlier if there is only 1 candiate (i.e. max_entropy == 0)

* reformat 't' case in llama_sample_queue

* check for one or zero candidates case in llama_sample_entropy
