Add BetterTransformer support for ESM Huggingface model for protein folding

[rakeshr10]

Feature request

I have been using ESM Huggingface model for protein folding. I request you to add BetterTransformer support for this model which I hope would speedup protein folding and support biological research. The current code is sitting in hugging face transformer repository

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/src/transformers/models/esm

Motivation

I tried using BetterTransformer with ESM Huggingface model. I received this message 'The model type esm is not yet supported to be used with BetterTransformer.' Hence I would request to add BetterTransformer support for this model.

Your contribution

I don't have the expertise to add support for this model hence I am seeking the community's help on this
