### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR restores #7029, which adds W8A8C8 support for dsv3.2/glm5 using
the `lightning_indexer_quant` ops in the pd-mix stage.
The original PR was reverted by #7288 because the patch did not work
with the recompute scheduler.
This PR also fixes the patching issue so that it works correctly with
the recompute scheduler.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. To enable LI C8, users need to set the `enable_sparse_c8` option to
`"true"` in `additional_config`.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR supports W8A8C8 in dsv3.2/glm5 with lightning_indexer_quant ops
in pd-mix stage mainly.
Because the code for the current PD-disaggregated scenario is still
under refactoring and cleanup, this PR prioritizes ensuring the C8
functionality in the pd-mix scenario.
The next steps are planned in two parts:
① Once the optimized scatter operator is updated, we will replace the
original operator to improve the performance of storing k_scale.
② Once the code logic for the PD-disaggregated scenario becomes stable,
we will carry out more comprehensive validation and make appropriate
adaptations.
③ Because enabling C8 currently introduces several new operators whose
performance still needs improvement, performance may regress in some
scenarios. Therefore, only after all the operators are fully ready can
we ensure that this feature does not cause any performance degradation.
At that point, we will enable this feature by default and remove the
switch in `additional_config`.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.
### How was this patch tested?
CI passed with new added/existing test.
