As a first step towards KV routing:
- introduce a `--router-mode` in dynamo-run that only does random and round-robin right now. Not that interesting yet.
- Make the vllm engine publish the KV events received from our patched vllm.

Now we "just" need to connect the two. Easy right?

Adds `@dynamo_worker(static = True)` to create a static worker which has a predictable name and hence does not require discovery or `etcd` to be running. There can only be a single static worker per namespace / component / endpoint trio.

This contrasts with the default dynamic `dynamo_worker` endpoints we have now, which get a unique random name (based on namespace/component/endpoint), and are discovered by ingress components using etcd.

Also change the hello_world example to use `dynamo_worker(static = True)` so that it is exercised and demonstrated somewhere.

For NIM.

That ensures it gets removed when the process stops.

There are two etcd keys:
- The service
- The model

The second one is the interesting one for us. Previously we confused the two.

Needs more testing but good enough for now. I get the same results with this as with `vllm serve`.

Add backend type `EngineConfig::StaticCore` that wraps the engine in a preprocessor (prompt templating and tokenization).

Add example engine `echo_core` (`out=echo_core`) which takes and returns tokens. A nice side effect is that it echos the full prompt template with system prompt, whereas `echo_full` echos only user prompt.

Add support in tio for distributed components and discovery.

Node 1:
```
tio in=http out=tdr://ns/backend/mistralrs
```

Node 2:
```
tio in=tdr://ns/backend/mistralrs out=mistralrs ~/llm_models/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct
```

This will use etcd to auto-discover the model and NATS to talk to it. You can run multiple workers on the same endpoint and it will pick one at random each time.

The `ns/backend/mistralrs` are purely symbolic, pick anything as long as it has three parts, and it matches the other node.
