WIP shampoo low bit optimizers

* upgrade liger to 0.3.1

* update docs and example

* skip duplicate code check

* Update src/axolotl/integrations/liger/args.py

Co-authored-by: NanoCode012 <nano@axolotl.ai>

* Update README.md

Co-authored-by: NanoCode012 <nano@axolotl.ai>

* add logging

* chore: lint

* add test case

* upgrade liger and transformers

* also upgrade accelerate

* use kwargs to support patch release

* make sure prepared path is empty for test

* use transfromers 4.46.1 since 4.46.2 breaks fsdp
