* Unify attention mask creation in LLMs.
Currently, each model implementation in `mlx-examples/llms/models` has ad-hoc
code to create a mask for the attention mechanism. This usually takes the form:
```
mask = None
if h.shape[1] > 1:
mask = nn.MultiHeadAttention.create_additive_causal_mask(h.shape[1])
mask = mask.astype(h.dtype)
```
This correctly creates a mask only if the input consists of more than one token.
But this code assumes the multi-token input is at the beginning of inference.
If, for example, we are evaluating multiple tokens because of speculative
decoding or prompt cache reuse, this mask will not have the correct shape and
and will cause the raising of an exception in the attention computation.
Some of the models correctly implement the mask creation with code like this:
```
mask = None
if h.shape[1] > 1:
mask = create_additive_causal_mask(
h.shape[1], cache[0].offset if cache is not None else 0
)
mask = mask.astype(h.dtype)
```
This commit unifies the attention mask creation for all models with a new
function `create_attention_mask`, reducing code duplication and helping all
models support inference performance enhancements like those mentioned above.
* Allow batches in LLM key-value cache
The current implementation of the LLM key-value cache assumes that
the input batch is of size 1. Input batching (evaluating multiple
alterative inputs at the same time) can be a valuable tool for
speculative sampling and other techniques.
This change removes the hard-coded batch size from the code that
resizes the key-value cache.
* Simplify causal mask creation
Use the same codepath regardless of whether there's an offset or
not. Addresses [this comment](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/pull/911#discussion_r1691459717).
* Use old-style type annotation to avoid linter error
