It appears transformer.wte.weight is in the weight map even though the weights are not there, remove it if output weights are encountered first.

Also remove weight duplication from said models on conversion.
I've converted and tested the following models, confirming that they do not initially have output weights (except for CodeShell, see below) but rely on word embeddings and output weights being tied together at runtime:
For some reason CodeShell has inverted ties; output weights are provided in the bin/safetensors, but not word embeddings, even though our conversion code seems to imply otherwise.
Added a workaround for
transformer.wte.weightbeing in the CodeShell weight map even though it's not in the tensor file(s), causing a conversion error unless you edit the .index.json file.
