Subject: [PATCH] Filter GGUF models from training page model selectors

GGUF models can't be fine-tuned, so hide them from the training/studio
page while keeping them available for inference on the chat page.

- Add "gguf" to EXCLUDED_TAGS in HF model search hook
- Filter local models with .gguf extension or -GGUF in ID
