Move much of what was in the `dynamo-run` crate into `dynamo-llm` so that everyone can use it.

Example usage:

1. Create a `LocalModel`:

```
    let local_model = LocalModelBuilder::default()
	.model_path("Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B")
	.http_port(8080)
	.build().await?;
```

2. Make an engine:

```
    let engine_config = EngineConfig::StaticFull {
	engine: dynamo_engine_mistralrs::make_engine(&local_model).await?,
	model: Box::new(local_model),
    };
```

3. Connect it to an input and run it

```
    dynamo_llm::entrypoint::input::run_input(Input::Http, runtime, engine_config).await?;
```

For https://github.com/ai-dynamo/dynamo/issues/1647

Code Rabbit summary, thanks:
  * Introduced a flexible builder pattern for local model configuration, allowing advanced customization and easier initialization.
  * Added new input modes and unified input handling, supporting interactive chat, HTTP server, batch file, and distributed endpoint modes.
  * Centralized engine configuration and routing, enabling more extensible and maintainable engine management.
  * Simplified and modularized the codebase by moving input and engine logic into dedicated modules.
  * Replaced direct model construction with an asynchronous builder for improved clarity and extensibility.
  * Streamlined configuration and validation for flags and router settings.
  * Added validation to prevent incompatible input and output combinations in endpoint and dynamic modes.

feat: Unnormalize waiting requests + predictive load updates for Python router (mirroring Rust) + softmax sampling to reduce thrashing (#1638)

It was confusing to have two names for one type.

This tidy up started in #1064 , is now complete.

Router:
```
dynamo-run in=http out=dyn://dynamo.endpoint.generate --router-mode kv
```

Worker (* N):
```
dynamo-run in=dyn://dynamo.endpoint.generate out=vllm /data/llms/Qwen/Qwen3-4B
```

You need patched vllm and the C bindings `.so`. Full docs in the updated guide: `docs/guides/dynamo_run.md`.

This gives us a pure-Rust ingress node: OpenAI compliant HTTP server + Pre-processor + KV-aware router.

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

In a distributed system we don't know if the remote workers need pre-processing done ingress-side or not. Previously Client required us to decide this before discovering the remote endpoints, which was fine because pre-processing was worker-side.

As part of moving pre-processing back to ingress-side we need to split this into two steps:
- Client discovers the endpoints, and (later PR) will fetch their Model Deployment Card.
- PushRouter will use the Model Deployment Card to decide if they need pre-processing or not, which affects the types of the generic parameters.

Part of #743
