Add aggressive memory optimizations for 16GB limit

Fix for: Memory limit exceeded (16Gi) on HuggingFace Spaces

Root Cause:
- Granite 4.0 H-1B (1.5B params) uses ~3GB for model
- float32 inference uses additional ~8-12GB for activations/KV cache
- Total: ~15-16GB exceeds free tier limit

Memory Optimizations Implemented:

1. **8-bit Quantization** (Primary fix)
- Load model with load_in_8bit=True
- Reduces model size from ~3GB to ~1.5GB
- Uses bitsandbytes library
- Fallback to float32 if unavailable

2. **Reduced Context Length**
- max_length: 4096 → 2048 tokens
- Saves ~50% on input buffer

3. **Reduced Generation Length**
- max_new_tokens: 800 → 400
- Saves ~50% on output buffer

4. **Aggressive Garbage Collection**
- gc.collect() before/after generation
- torch.cuda.empty_cache() when available
- Explicit del of tensors after use

5. **Memory-Efficient Generation**
- num_beams=1 (greedy decoding)
- use_cache=True (KV cache reuse)

Expected Memory Usage:
- Model (8-bit): ~1.5GB
- Inference (optimized): ~4-6GB
- System overhead: ~2GB
- Total: ~8-10GB (well under 16GB limit)

Dependencies:
+ bitsandbytes>=0.41.0 for 8-bit quantization
