Remove config functions like int4_weight_only (#3145)

**Summary:** As a follow-up to #2994,
this commit removes all quantization functions that were used
as configs. These functions were deprecated in 0.14.0 and will
be removed in the next release, 0.15.0.

**Test Plan:** CI

 3. [int4 tinygemm unpacker](https://github.com/pytorch/ao/pull/415) which makes it easier to switch quantized backends for inference
