[Quant Tool] Introduce get_qdq_config() helper to get QDQ configurati…

…ons (#22677)

### Description
Introduces the `get_qdq_config()` function to get a quantization
configuration for a full integer QDQ model. This function provides an
easier way of specifying commonly used options and sets convenient
defaults. Specifically:

- Instead of requiring the user to pass a dictionary of `extra_options`,
the new interface adds function parameters for common settings:
  - All calibrator settings
  - Whether activations/weights are symmetric
  - Whether to keep or fuse relu/clip into Q
  - Minimum real range for quantization
  - Dictionary of tensor quantization overrides.
- Automatically scans the input floating-point model and fills out the
operator types to quantize. Otherwise, only a limited number of operator
types would be quantized by default.
- Detects if the input model uses external data. If so, ensures that the
generated QDQ model also uses external data.
- Detects if the model will use newly introduced quantization types
(int4/int16) with an older opset. If so, forces the use of the
`com.microsoft` domain for Q/DQ ops, which support all types.
- Automatically enables the "extra option" called
`ForceQuantizeNoInputCheck` to ensure data movement operators (e.g.,
Transpose) are always quantized.
- User can pass a function to indicate which nodes to exclude from
quantization.
- The user can still pass their own `extra_options` to override any of
the above if necessary.
 
```python
from onnxruntime.quantization import get_int_qdq_config, quantize # , ...

# Get QDQ configuration
qdq_config = get_int_qdq_config(
    float_model,
    data_reader,
    calibrate_method=CalibrationMethod.Percentile,
    calibrate_args={"percentile": 99.98},  # Converted to extra_options
    activation_type=QuantType.QUInt8,
    weight_type=QuantType.QInt8,
    per_channel=True,
    nodes_to_exclude=["Mul"], # Could also be a function. Ex: `lambda model, node: node.op_type == "Softmax"`

    # Other options converted to extra_options:
    min_real_range=0.0001,
    keep_removable_activations=True,
    activation_symmetric=True,
    weight_symmetric=True,
)

# Quantize model
quantize(float_model_path, qdq_model_path, qdq_config)
```
### Motivation and Context
Need a version of `get_qnn_qdq_config()` that is not EP-specific.

+    Returns a configuration suitable that quantizes the entire model to integer precision.
+
+    Params:
+        model_input: Path to the input model file or ModelProto.
+        calibration_data_reader: Calibration data reader.
+        calibrate_methode: The calibration method. Defaults to MinMax.
+        activation_type: The default activation quantization type. Defaults to QUInt8.
+        weight_type: The default weight quantization type. Defaults to QUInt8.
+        activation_symmetric: True if activations should be quantized symmetrically (i.e, rmax == -rmin) by default.
+            Defaults to false. For int8 and int16, this results in zero-point values of 0. For uint8 and uint16,
+            the zero-point values are 127 and 32,767, respectively.
+        weight_symmetric: True if weights should be quantized symmetrically (i.e., rmax == -rmin) by default.
+            Defaults to None. If set to None, weight_symmetric is assumed true if a weight's quant type is a signed int.
+        per_channel: Global option that determines if a fixed set of operator types should be quantized per-channel.
+            Defaults to false. Alternatively, use the tensor-level `tensor_quant_overrides` to select individual operators
+            and their quantization axes.
+        keep_removable_activations: Defaults to false. If true, "removable" activations (e.g., Clip or Relu) will not
+                        be removed, and will be explicitly represented in the QDQ model. If false, these activations
+                        are automatically removed if activations are asymmetrically quantized. Keeping these activations
+                        is necessary if optimizations or EP transformations will later remove
+                        QuantizeLinear/DequantizeLinear operators from the model.
+        min_real_range: Default is None. If set to a floating-point value, the calculation of the quantization parameters
+            (i.e., scale and zero point) will enforce a minimum range between rmin and rmax. If (rmax - rmin)
+            is less than the specified minimum range, rmax will be set to rmin + min_real_range.
+        tensor_quant_overrides: tensor-level quantization overrides. Defaults to None.
+            The key is a tensor name and the value is a list of dictionaries. For per-tensor quantization, the list
+            contains a single dictionary. For per-channel quantization, the list contains either a dictionary for
+            each channel in the tensor or a single dictionary that is assumed to apply to all channels. An 'axis'
+            key must be present in the first dictionary for per-channel quantization.
+
+            Each dictionary contains optional overrides with the following keys and values.
+                'quant_type' = QuantType : The tensor's quantization data type.
+                'axis' = Int             : The per-channel axis. Must be present for per-channel weights.
+                'scale' =  Float         : The scale value to use. Must also specify `zero_point` if set.
+                'zero_point' = Int       : The zero-point value to use. Must also specify `scale` is set.
+                'symmetric' = Bool       : If the tensor should use symmetric quantization. Invalid if also
+                                            set `scale` or `zero_point`.
+                'reduce_range' = Bool    : If the quantization range should be reduced. Invalid if also
+                                            set `scale` or `zero_point`. Only valid for initializers.
+                'rmax' = Float           : Override the maximum real tensor value in calibration data.
+                                            Invalid if also set `scale` or `zero_point`.
+                'rmin' = Float           : Override the minimum real tensor value in calibration data.
+                                            Invalid if also set `scale` or `zero_point`.
+                'convert' = Dict         : A nested dictionary with the same keys for an activation
+                                           tensor that should be converted to another quantization type.
+                'convert["recv_nodes"] = Set : Set of node names that consume the converted activation,
+                                               other nodes get the original type. If not specified,
+                                               assume all consumer nodes get the converted type.
+        nodes_to_exclude: List of nodes names to exclude from quantization. Alternatively, can provide a function that
+            accepts an onnx.ModelProto and onnx.NodeProto as arguments and returns true if the give onnx.NodeProto
+            should be excluded from quantization.
