This will allow an ingress-side pre-processor to see it without needing a model checkout.

Currently pre-processing is done in the worker, which has access to the model deployment card ("MDC") files (`config.json`, `tokenizer.json` and `tokenizer_config.json`) locally. We want to move the pre-processor to the ingress side to support KV routing. That requires ingress side (i.e the HTTP server), on a different machine than the worker to be able to see those three files.

To support that this PR makes the worker upload the contents of those files to the NATS object store, and publishes the MDC with those NATS urls to the key-value store. 

The key-value store has an interface so any store (nats, etcd, redis, etc) can be supported. Implementations for memory and NATS are provided.

Fetching the MDC from the store, doing pre-processing ingress side, and publishing a card backed by a GGUF, are all for a later commit.

Part of #743 

"echo_core" is an engine that echoes the post-processed request back to you so you can see the template. Good for testing. It needed an extra flag set to work correctly.

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.

This lets us do:
```
dynamo-run out=llamacpp <gguf_file>
```

Previously a `--model-config <hf-repo>` was also required, to configure our tokenizer.

That ensures it gets removed when the process stops.

Under load it sometimes drops a request. The request gets added to the batch (sequence) and immediately gets a FinishReason Stop. Not sure why. It doesn't happen with the default scheduler (non-paged attention), so switch to that for now.

Previously several parts of the stack ensured max tokens (for this single request) was set.

Now only text input sets it (to 8k). Everything else leaves as is, potentially blank. The engines themselves have very small defaults, 16 for vllm and 128 for sglang.

Also fix dynamo-run CUDA startup message to only print if we're using an engine that would benefit from it (mistralrs, llamacpp).

```
dynamo-run in=batch:prompts.jsonl out=mistralrs ~/llm_models/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct/
```

The file has genai format, one entry per line:
```
{"text": "the prompt"}
{"text": ..etc
```

The prompt is evaluated and the output written to `output.jsonl` in the
same folder as the input.

At the end of the run various statistics are printed:
> Ran 5 files in 8s 679ms. Tokens in: 40 (5/s). Tokens out: 346 (43/s)

This is also helpful for pushing load into the system and stressing the
various components. Not intended for performance measurement, it's a
batch inference tool.

Previously we tokenized and counted tokens to stop when max tokens was reached. Now we let the mistral.rs engine do it which saves the extra tokenization step.

Also dynamo-run prints which engines are compiled in in help message, and some minor lint fixes.

- Any engine can take the name of a Hugging Face repository. It will be downloaded before calling the engine.

- The default engine (previously always mistralrs) depends on what is compiled in.

- Text can be piped in and will result in a single run of the model.

All of those together mean if you build with `--features vllm` you can do this and it will download the model and run it with vllm, answer your question, and exit:
```
echo "What is the capital of Costa Rica?"  | dynamo-run Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct
```

If the python file raises an exception we print it like Python would.

```
$ ./target/debug/dynamo-run in=http out=pystr:~/Temp/cn47/1_e.py --model-name test

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/graham/Temp/cn47/1_e.py", line 17, in generate
    raise MyException("The message")
1_e.MyException: The message
```
