Why are these changes needed?

Our ScalingConfig() function supports a new argument accelerator_type. This PR provides a user guide with example code to showcase the usage. The generated section of the user guide is appended below:

Tip if you haven't seen this already: we build the docs as part of the premerge CI, so you can take a look at your rendered docs: https://anyscale-ray--44882.com.readthedocs.build/en/44882/index.html

Nice! Made some edit suggestions.

Sometimes you might want to specify the accelerator type for a worker. For example,
you can specify `accelerator_type="A100"` in the `ScalingConfig` if you want to
assign the worker an NVIDIA A100 GPU.

Suggested change
Sometimes you might want to specify the accelerator type for a worker. For example,
you can specify `accelerator_type="A100"` in the `ScalingConfig` if you want to
assign the worker an NVIDIA A100 GPU.
Ray Train allows you to specify the accelerator type for each worker.
This is useful if your model training has some GPU memory constraints that requires a specific type of GPU.
In a heterogeneous Ray cluster, this means that your training workers will be forced to run on the specified GPU type, rather than on any arbitrary GPU node.
For example, you can specify `accelerator_type="A100"` in the :class:`~ray.train.ScalingConfig` if you want to
assign each worker a NVIDIA A100 GPU.

We can cut this down to just show the ScalingConfig.

Oh, for this one, I'm thinking of just showing:

Ensure that your cluster has instances with the specified accelerator type
or is able to autoscale to fulfill the request.

We can make this a tip:

.. tip::
    Ensure that your cluster has instances with the specified accelerator type 
or is able to autoscale to fulfill the request.
    Otherwise, your job will hang forever due to unsatisfiable pending resource requests.

Fix the indent here?

Users may want to use different accelerator types not only for GPU memory constraints, but also for e.g. compute power, cost efficiency, availability, etc.

Let's just say This is useful if you want to use a specific accelerator type for model training.
