llama-quant : default ftype param `Q5_1` --> `Q8_0` (#20828)

Change the default `ftype` in `llama_model_quantize_params` from
`LLAMA_FTYPE_MOSTLY_Q5_1` to `LLAMA_FTYPE_MOSTLY_Q8_0`.

In case some external program naively uses the default quantization
params, we should probably default to a known-good type like Q8_0 rather
than Q5_1, which is rather old.
