### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR adds sleep mode feature for vllm-ascend, when sleeps, we do
mainly two things:
- offload model weights
- discard kv cache
RLHF tools(such as https://github.com/volcengine/verl and
https://github.com/OpenRLHF/OpenRLHF) have a strong need of sleep mode
to accelerate the training process.
This PR may solve #375 and #320 .
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No existing user interfaces changed.
Users will have two new methods(`sleep()` and `wake_up()`) to use.
### How was this patch tested?
This PR is tested with Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct.
At first, we have free NPU memory M1.
After `llm = LLM("Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct", enable_sleep_mode=True)`
executed, we have free NPU memory M2. M2 < M1.
Then we call `llm.sleep(level=1)`, we have free NPU memory M3.
We have M3 > M2, M3 is very close to M1.
Plus, we have the same output tokens before sleep and after wake up,
with the config of `SamplingParams(temperature=0, max_tokens=10)` and
with the same input tokens of course.
This PR is utilizing the CMake procedure of #371 , thanks a lot.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Adopt custom kernel rotary embedding in actual model inference,
customized rotary_embedding will generate contiguous query and key in
the cpp side to reduce the overhead of two contiguous and index_select
compared with rotary_embedding in torch_npu. For now, rotary_embedding
can only support the scenario of `is_neox = true`, non-neox version rope
will be updated soon in the future.
