Description

At the moment, only the "linear" interpolation method from numpy.quantile and by extension numpy.percentile are implemented (as noted in Issue #70)

https://github.com/google/jax/blob/1cf708ea77fae0fc1418e0b944f0115646f7f2ec/jax/numpy/lax_numpy.py#L3446-L3447

It would be useful to also have the "nearest" interpolation method, along with the others ("lower", "higher", "midpoint") implemented as well.
