Inference ONNX int8 quantized models using Barracuda engine

[sudheer-akki]

Thanks for the Barracuda GPU support. I've successfully inferenced float32 onnx model onto Hololens 2 using barracuda without any hassle but the inference was too high due to complex architecture so thought of using int8 models to achieve low inference time. Actually, I found that, barracuda implemented int8 model support from 0.7.0 release and I am trying to inference my onnx int8 model using barracuda 3.0 latest release but unfortunately Unity wasn't able to recognize the model and the following error appeared when copying the model into project folder. Any insights would be great!
