Fixed packages version problem + fixed problem with convert-hf-to-gguf-update.py

[hamdoudhakem]

This PR make minor changes ro a few things including the version of some packages :

• numpy : because it used deprecated python code that broke when installing the requirements.txt
• torch : because it kept saying that the version 2.1.1 didn't exist and proposed other versions like 2.2.0, 2.2.1, etc

and also the convert-hf-to-gguf-update.py was updated to use encoding="utf-8" when reading and writing on convert-hf-to-gguf.py because some characters kept breaking the execution of the convert-hf-to-gguf-update.py (mostly hexadecimal characters that weren't recognized under windows default encoding) like the rocket emojis "🚀"

Could you split it into 2 separate PRs? One for requirements other for encoding. I tested dependency bump and it seems to work both on python 3.11 and python 3.12, so looks like we're good there. Please ping me if/when you open them so I'll approve them quicker.

I created 2 new PRs like you suggested here are the links :

• The encoding fix : Fix the encoding in the convert-hf-to-gguf-update.py file #8040
• The packages version fix : Fixed packages versions #8041
