scripts : platform independent script to verify sha256 checksums (#1203)

* python script to verify the checksum of the llama models

Added Python script for verifying SHA256 checksums of files in a directory, which can run on multiple platforms. Improved the formatting of the output results for better readability.

* Update README.md

update to the readme for improved readability and to explain the usage of the python checksum verification script

* update the verification script

I've extended the script based on suggestions by @prusnak

The script now checks the available RAM, is there is enough to check the file at once it will do so. If not the file is read in chunks.

* minor improvment

small change so that the available ram is checked and not the total ram

* remove the part of the code that reads the file at once if enough ram is available

based on suggestions from @prusnak i removed the part of the code that checks whether the user had enough ram to read the entire model at once. the file is now always read in chunks.

* Update verify-checksum-models.py

quick fix to pass the git check
