Raising a warning if latest JAX is installed (#7369)

**Context:** We need a bugfix release for `PennyLane 0.41`.

The reason is that if a user installs PennyLane, then latext JAX, and
then imports PennyLane (in this sequence), the following error is
raised:
```
AttributeError: jax.core.Primitive was removed in JAX v0.6.0. Use jax.extend.core.Primitive instead, and see https://docs.jax.dev/en/latest/jax.extend.html for details..
```

and there are no further details.
Therefore, we need to raise an informative warning at some point that
tells the user that PL is not yet compatible with the latest JAX
version.

Notice that this branch was created from the
[tag](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/releases/tag/v0.41.0) of
the latest PennyLane release, as the PL release guidance recommends.

**Description of the Change:**

- This is not a change implemented in this PR, but notice that
`__version__` is set to `"0.41.1"` on this branch. This change was
implemented before pushing this branch to GitHub, as the PL release
guidance recommends.

- We need to install the stable version of `pennylane-lightning` and
`pennylane-catalyst` instead of the latest, because the latest version
of these packages is now incompatible with this branch (they are using
the `pennylane.exceptions` module, which was introduced after the 0.41
release). Obviously, this change will not be merged into master.

- The actual warning message. This triggered `pylint` failures in the
entire file, and I had to stick:
```
# pylint: disable=wrong-import-position, wrong-import-order, import-outside-toplevel
```
at the very top of the file. This is certainly not ideal, but this is
only temporary before PL is compatible with the latest JAX version (WIP
to be completed before the next release).
Notice that we might also raise this warning somewhere else, catching
the first `import jax` inside the capture folder that causes the issue,
instead of the `init` file in PennyLane. There was a brief discussion
about this with @mlxd. Happy to change if needed, so please let me know
what you think.

- Downgraded `sphinx`. The reason is that I was getting so many
[`sphinx`
failures](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/actions/runs/14785640011/job/41513452178?pr=7369).

I noticed that `sphinx` was updated recently in [this
PR](#7212) (@rashidnhm or
@runora95), in which `PennyLaneAI/[email protected]` has been replaced
with `PennyLaneAI/sphinx-action@master` in `.github/workflows/docs.yml`.

This branch was using `PennyLaneAI/sphinx-action@master`, and it was
created from the 0.41 tag, which therefore was also using
`PennyLaneAI/sphinx-action@master` (you can check by downloading the
source code from GitHub).
Therefore, in between the 0.41 release and [this
PR](#7212), we must have
changed `PennyLaneAI/sphinx-action@master` to
`PennyLaneAI/[email protected]` at some point.

Maybe @rashidnhm or @runora95 have some insight about what and why this
happened. Thanks!

Obviously, this change (that is, downgrading `sphinx`) will not be
merged into master.

- Replaced an outdated link in `qnn/__init__.py`. The reason is that I
was getting an annoying `sphinx` failure:

```
/github/workspace/pennylane/qnn/__init__.py:docstring of pennylane.qnn:6: WARNING: unknown document: demos/tutorial_qnn_module_tf
```

And I noticed that the link to this demo in the [stable doc
version](https://docs.pennylane.ai/en/stable/code/qml_qnn.html) is
broken (most probably because the demo has been moved/renamed on March
20th, after the 0.41 release). I replaced the link with a working one in
the only way I know.

**Benefits:** An informative warning is raised when importing pennylane
with the latest JAX installed.

**Possible Drawbacks:** Strictly speaking, none as this is a bugfix
release.

**Related GitHub Issues:** None.

**Related Shortcut Story:** [sc-90355]

**Further details:** I tested this in a virtual conda environment. 

If `JAX` is installed with version <= 0.4.28 or if it is not installed
at all, we get the following output when importing pennylane:
```
~/Desktop/repos/pennylane warning_latest_jax > python -c "import pennylane"                                                                                                       py PLPostRelease 19:15:18

~/Desktop/repos/pennylane warning_latest_jax >                                                                                                                                    py PLPostRelease 19:15:31
```

If `JAX` is installed with version > 0.4.28, we get the following output
when importing pennylane:
```
~/Desktop/repos/pennylane warning_latest_jax > python -c "import pennylane"                                                                                                    6s py PLPostRelease 19:08:26
/home/pietropaolo.frisoni/Desktop/repos/pennylane/pennylane/__init__.py:35: RuntimeWarning: PennyLane is not yet compatible with JAX versions > 0.4.28. You have JAX 0.6.0 installed. Please downgrade JAX to <=0.4.28 to avoid runtime errors. 
  warnings.warn(

```

I encourage you to try as well : )

- [ ] All new functions and code must be clearly commented and
documented.
If you do make documentation changes, make sure that the docs build and
      render correctly by running `make docs`.

- [ ] Ensure that the test suite passes, by running `make test`.

- [ ] Add a new entry to the `doc/releases/changelog-dev.md` file,
