As part of decoupling QuantLayers and QuantTensor, the computation of output scale for bias quantization is now delegated to the underlying proxy, who takes as input the possibly quantized input and weights, and internally defines the output scale.
Compared to our current setup, the main change would happen in the case where:
Our current setup would have no issue with this case, while after this PR, the user would be required to use internally scaled bias and not externally defined.
I believe this to be a edge case that can be safely ignored.
