refactor: Improve code organization, argument parsing, and user interface

- Renamed 'default_outfile' to 'default_output_file' for clarity.
- Refactored argument parser setup into 'get_argument_parser' function.
- Introduced descriptive comments for each argument in the parser.
- Added '--vocab-type' argument with choices ["spm", "bpe", "hfft"] for vocabulary processing.
- Improved flag naming consistency: '--outfile' to '--out-file' and '--bigendian' to '--big-endian'.
- Enhanced error handling to prevent overwriting input data in 'default_output_file'.
- Made 'argv' in 'main' an optional parameter for flexibility.
- Introduced dynamic import for 'awq.apply_awq' based on 'args.awq_path' for conditional dependency.

These changes enhance code clarity, organization, and the user interface of the script, aligning it with Python best practices and improving maintainability.
