Description
Currently when using whisper with CTranslate2 we require to provide folder with all the required files such as config.json model.bin etc.
Does it possible to use such file format that will include the decoder, encoder, config files etc all in one file for simplicity?

Research direction
Start by reviewing how Whisper models currently require a folder containing config.json, model.bin, and the other required files. Investigate whether the decoder, encoder, and configuration can be represented in one file for CTranslate2. Done means Whisper can use the consolidated format without separately providing the model files.
