## What does this PR do?
**Type of change:** documentation <!-- Use one of the following: Bug
fix, new feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->
**Overview:**
1. Added multi‑backbone support for quantization: --backbone now accepts
space- or comma-separated lists and resolves to a list of backbone
modules.
2. Introduced PipelineManager.iter_backbones() to iterate named backbone
modules and updated get_backbone() to return a single module or a
ModuleList for multi‑backbone.
3. Updated ExportManager to save/restore per‑backbone checkpoints when a
directory is provided, with {backbone_name}.pt files, and to create
target directories when missing.
4. Simplified save_checkpoint() calls to rely on the registered
pipeline_manager by default.
**Usage: **
```bash
python quantize.py --model wan2.2-t2v-14b --format fp4 --batch-size 1 --calib-size 32 \
--n-steps 30 --backbone transformer transformer_2 --model-dtype BFloat16 \
--quantized-torch-ckpt-save-path ./wan22_mo_ckpts \
--hf-ckpt-dir ./wan2.2-t2v-14b
```
Plans
- [x] [1/4] Add the basic functionalities to support limited image
models with NVFP4 + FP8, with some refactoring on the previous LLM code
and the diffusers example. PIC: @jingyu-ml
- [x] [2/4] Add support to more video gen models. PIC: @jingyu-ml
- [x] [3/4] Add test cases, refactor on the doc, and all related README.
PIC: @jingyu-ml
- [ ] [4/4] Add the final support to ComfyUI. PIC @jingyu-ml
