Quantizing from cli using config file fails

[jens-f]

I'm running

onnxruntime quantize --onnx_model ONNX_MODEL --c ort_config.json  -o ONNX_MODEL_quantized

and this fails with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/rag/bin/optimum-cli", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

It looks like there's a typo in quantize.py. But unfortunately, even when fixing the misspelled function name, the command fails:

  File "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/rag/lib/python3.12/site-packages/optimum/commands/optimum_cli.py", line 163, in main

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'is_static'

After investigating this further, the problem seems to be that the quantize( function is expecting a QuantizationConfig but instead a dict object is supplied. I didn't see a straight forward way how to convert the loaded dict into the required QuantizationConfig
