Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/pull/1906
This PR implemented LSQ/LSQ++, a vector quantization technique described in the following two papers:
1. Revisiting additive quantization
2. LSQ++: Lower running time and higher recall in multi-codebook quantization
Here is a benchmark running on SIFT1M for 64 bits encoding:
```
===== lsq:
mean square error = 17335.390208
training time: 312.729779958725 s
encoding time: 244.6277096271515 s
===== pq:
mean square error = 23743.004672
training time: 1.1610801219940186 s
encoding time: 2.636141061782837 s
===== rq:
mean square error = 20999.737344
training time: 31.813055515289307 s
encoding time: 307.51959800720215 s
```
Changes:
1. Add LocalSearchQuantizer object
2. Fix an out of memory bug in ResidualQuantizer
3. Add a benchmark for evaluating quantizers
4. Add tests for LocalSearchQuantizer
