[PEFT] Add warning for missing key in LoRA adapter (#34068)

When loading a LoRA adapter, so far, there was only a warning when there
were unexpected keys in the checkpoint. Now, there is also a warning
when there are missing keys.

This change is consistent with
https://github.com/huggingface/peft/pull/2118 in PEFT and the planned PR
https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/9622 in diffusers.

Apart from this change, the error message for unexpected keys was
slightly altered for consistency (it should be more readable now). Also,
besides adding a test for the missing keys warning, a test for
unexpected keys warning was also added, as it was missing so far.
