New vllm and sglang engines that run in a sub-process. Will hopefully replace the existing embedded python engines.
    
Why?
    
  - Pure Python, does not require knowing Rust to work on it. Much simpler to maintain.
  - No embedded Python interpreter which avoids linking libpython and avoids the MacOS virtualenv issues.
  - Should have better performance as it's "native" vllm / sglang.
  - Works with any version of vllm (including v1!) and sglang. Less upgrade struggle.

Adding this to a Python script makes it register on the network so that `dynamo-run` can discover it and send it requests:
```
from dynamo.llm import register_llm

MODEL = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct"
await register_llm(endpoint, MODEL, 3)
```

Full vllm example, with pre-processing in dynamo:
- `dynamo-run in=text out=dyn://dynamo.backend.generate`
- `cd lib/bindings/python/examples/hello_world`
- `python server_vllm.py`

This builds on top of the work to move pre-processor to ingress side. It means we can decouple Rust and Python using NATS as the bus.

The `register_llm` call does this:

- Download the model from HF if necessary
- Load the model deployment card from the HF folder or extract from GGUF
- Push the tokenizer config etc into NATS object store so ingress can access it from a different machine
- Publish the model deployment card to ETCD

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.
