The CLIP weights need to be converted to f32 for textual inversions (fbd42b6, for #601), but that increases the amount of allocated VRAM even when embeddings aren't being used.
On a typical SDXL render on Vulkan, this change reduces peak VRAM usage around 190MB.
I'm including a refactor of the clip_skip handling, since this change would end up conflicting with it. Please let me know if I shall submit it separately instead.
