cleanup ascend config (#5296)

1. refresh additional config doc
2. move kv config logic to platform.
3. improve `dump_config` init logic and rename it to `dump_config_path`
this change is user impacted. dump_config is changed from dict to
string.
4. correct `enable_async_exponential` type
5. remove useless `chunked_prefill_for_mla`
