### Description part of https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/21448 This change is intend to save CPU memory during model load for inference. Added session option save_prepacked_constant_initializers, with save_prepacked_constant_initializers turn on: 1. optimize model with inference session, prepacked external initializer will be saved into data file. 2. load optimized model and external data file with prepacked initializer, no prepack is needed 3. run inference with optimized model and data file Tested with model Phi-3-mini-instruct-onnx, with ORT 1.12.0:  with this change:  Peak memory usage dropped from **5.438 GB to 2.726GB**. This change takes advantage of ORT loads external initializer with mmap on CPU. Prepack will use extra memory on heap, omit prepack process can save this part of memory (roughly same size as external initializers). next step: Change all the kernels on CPU with PrePack method implemented and test properly. Will do in next PR. ### Motivation and Context <!-- - Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? - If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. --> |

ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training machine-learning accelerator.
ONNX Runtime inference can enable faster customer experiences and lower costs, supporting models from deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras as well as classical machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, etc. ONNX Runtime is compatible with different hardware, drivers, and operating systems, and provides optimal performance by leveraging hardware accelerators where applicable alongside graph optimizations and transforms.
