convert : parse safetensors directly (#15667)

* convert : parse safetensors directly

* gguf-py : order safetensors tensors by name

Applies to both local and remote safetensors custom parsing.
This matches the behavior of the official safetensors implementation.

* convert : rename from_safetensors_meta to from_local_tensor

For consistency with from_remote_tensor

* convert : fix no-lazy dtypes from direct safetensors
