The k_samplers come with a "karras" noise schedule which performs
very well at low step counts but becomes noisy at higher ones.
This commit introduces a threshold (currently 30 steps) at which the
k samplers will switch over from using karras to the older model
noise schedule.
At step counts greater than ~75, the ksamplers start producing noisy
images when using the Karras noise schedule. This PR reverts to using
the model's own noise schedule, which eliminates the problem at the
cost of slowing convergence at lower step counts.
This PR also introduces a new CLI `--save_intermediates <n>' argument,
which will save every nth intermediate image into a subdirectory
named `intermediates/<image_prefix>'.
Addresses issue #1083.
- txt2img2img back to using DDIM as img2img sampler; results produced
by some k* samplers are just not reliable enough for good user
experience
- img2img progress message clarifies why img2img steps taken != steps requested
- warn of potential problems when user tries to run img2img on a small init image
- img2img confirmed working with all samplers
- inpainting working on ddim & plms. Changes to k-diffusion
module seem to be needed for inpainting support.
- switched k-diffuser noise schedule to original karras schedule,
which reduces the step number needed for good results
