Fix LoftQ docs and tests (#1532)

The docs on how to apply LoftQ have been fixed. In contrast to what they claimed earlier, it is quite a bit more involved to get LoftQ working, requiring a complete roundtrip first loading a non-quantized model with LoftQ, saving the LoRA weights and the modified base model, loading the just stored base model again but this time with quantization, and finally loading the LoftQ-initialized adapter on top. The docs now link to the example which demonstrates how to move through these steps, and give some tips on how to achieve best outcomes. --------- Co-authored-by: Sourab Mangrulkar <[email protected]>

 ### LoftQ
 
-When quantizing the base model for QLoRA training, consider using the [LoftQ initialization](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.08659), which has been shown to improve performance when training quantized models. The idea is that the LoRA weights are initialized such that the quantization error is minimized. If you're using LoftQ, *do not* quantize the base model. You should set up a [`LoftQConfig`] instead:
+When quantizing the base model for QLoRA training, consider using the [LoftQ initialization](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.08659), which has been shown to improve performance when training quantized models. The idea is that the LoRA weights are initialized such that the quantization error is minimized. To use LoftQ, follow [these instructions](https://github.com/huggingface/peft/tree/main/examples/loftq_finetuning).
 
-```python
-from peft import LoftQConfig, LoraConfig, get_peft_model
-
-base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(...)  # don't quantize here
-loftq_config = LoftQConfig(loftq_bits=4, ...)           # set 4bit quantization
-lora_config = LoraConfig(..., init_lora_weights="loftq", loftq_config=loftq_config)
-peft_model = get_peft_model(base_model, lora_config)
-```
+In general, for LoftQ to work best, it is recommended to target as many layers with LoRA as possible, since those not targeted cannot have LoftQ applied. This means that passing `LoraConfig(..., target_modules="all-linear")` will most likely give the best results. Also, you should use `nf4` as quant type in your quantization config when using 4bit quantization, i.e. `BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True, bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4")`.

 ### LoftQ initialization
 
-[LoftQ](https://hf.co/papers/2310.08659) initializes LoRA weights such that the quantization error is minimized, and it can improve performance when training quantized models. To get started, create a [`LoftQConfig`] and set `loftq_bits=4` for 4-bit quantization.

-<Tip warning={true}>
-
-LoftQ initialization does not require quantizing the base model with the `load_in_4bits` parameter in the [`~transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained`] method! Learn more about LoftQ initialization in the [Initialization options](../developer_guides/lora#initialization) section.
-
-Note: You can only perform LoftQ initialization on a GPU.
-
-</Tip>
-
-```py
-from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
-from peft import LoftQConfig, LoraConfig, get_peft_model
-
-model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1", device_map="auto")
-loftq_config = LoftQConfig(loftq_bits=4)
-```
-
-Now pass the `loftq_config` to the [`LoraConfig`] to enable LoftQ initialization, and create a [`PeftModel`] for training.
-
-```py
-lora_config = LoraConfig(
-    init_lora_weights="loftq",
-    loftq_config=loftq_config,
-    r=16,
-    lora_alpha=8,
-    target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj"],
-    lora_dropout=0.05,
-    bias="none",
-    task_type="CAUSAL_LM"
-)

-model = get_peft_model(model, lora_config)
