What happened

With this config:

attention_type: sliced
attention_slice_size: auto # the default

I get this error:

The root cause is "auto" attention size is erroneously set to "balanced".

"balanced" attention slice size is an invoke-only value. diffusers has"auto" | "max" | int. There's a bug where we don't fall back to the diffusers-supported value of "auto":

https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/invokeai/backend/stable_diffusion/diffusers_pipeline.py#L180-L184

The elif on L182 should be an if to allow the fallback to work. This is already corrected in the custom attention processor:

https://github.com/StAlKeR7779/InvokeAI/blob/be84746e6783a9259e8cbde96d78fbb8514058bb/invokeai/backend/stable_diffusion/diffusion/custom_attention.py#L67-L71

However, it still feels awkward that both config values of "auto" and "balanced" mean the same thing. Probably we should deprecate one.

We'll also need to update this util:

https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/invokeai/backend/util/attention.py#L11-L33
