Expose CLI flag to disable using GPU for offline chat model

- Offline chat models outputing gibberish when loaded onto some GPU.
  GPU support with Vulkan in GPT4All seems a bit buggy

- This change mitigates the upstream issue by allowing user to
  manually disable using GPU for offline chat

Closes #516
