Pytorch weights for Kornia ViT converted from the original google JAX vision-transformer repo.

```python
from kornia.contrib import VisionTransformer

vit_model = VisionTransformer.from_config('vit_b/32', pretrained=True)
...
```

Original weights from https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer: This weight is based on the
[Original ViT_B/32 pretrained on imagenet21k](https://storage.googleapis.com/vit_models/augreg/B_32-i21k-300ep-lr_0.001-aug_light1-wd_0.1-do_0.0-sd_0.0.npz)

Weights converted to PyTorch for Kornia ViT implementation (by [@gau-nernst](https://github.com/gau-nernst) in [kornia/kornia#2786](https://github.com/kornia/kornia/pull/2786#discussion_r1482339811))
