### What this PR does / why we need it?
Backport: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/252
This support speculative decoding in Ascend, including speculating with
a draft model、by matching n-grams in the prompt、using MLP speculators
and using EAGLE based draft models.
Backport: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/423
spec decode MultiStepWorker support TP1DraftModelRunner fully, support
run the draft_model_runner with multi-step prepare on the NPU directly
and support draft_model_runner use MLA.
1. before this pr, `MultiStepWorker` would not step into the branch
using NPU prepare, but only into the branch using CPU prepare (`line 52`
of `vllm_ascend/patch/patch_multi_step_worker.py`). Although this has
`no effect` on the `correct operation` of speculative decoding and the
performance of the two branches is basically the same as of the current
version, I support entering this branch in this PR. In general, there
are two main changes in `patch_multi_step_worker.py`: first, the
`is_cuda_like()` check is removed and the `TP1DraftModelRunner`
rewritten in vllm_ascend is used; second, the
`supports_gpu_multi_step()` function is made to return true on NPU
devices when outer Multi_step_worker could work correct.
3. before this pr, `TP1DraftModelRunner` only supports Attention on NPU,
but not MLA. The relevant adaptation is in
`vllm_ascend/worker/draft_model_runner.py`. Although I don’t know why
the `input_positions` of `model_input.attn_metadata` in vllm-ascend
needs to be added in `execute_model`, it is done in `model_runner.py`,
so I also made corresponding changes. Otherwise, when atten_backend is
MLA, it will prompt that input_positions cannot be found.
4. I commented out two lines in `draft_model_runner.py` in `line118` to
support the scenario of K>1.
```
# lora_mapping=model_input.lora_mapping,
# lora_requests=model_input.lora_requests,
```
I added comments. In the future, when vllm-ascend supports lora feature,
the changes here can be restored.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Use `pytest.ini` to manage vllm native tests.
This will convert the original test script whitelist to a blacklist to
prevent missing the newly added test scripts of the upstream vLLM.
**note**: _we do **not** manage the test scripts of vLLM-Ascend in
`pytest.ini`, because if we do so, there will be conflicts between vLLM
and vLLM-Ascend's `conftest.py`._
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
N/A
### How was this patch tested?
CI passed with new existing test.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
vLLM Ascend plugin (vllm-ascend) is a backend plugin for running vLLM on
the Ascend NPU.
This plugin is the recommended approach for supporting the Ascend
backend within the vLLM community. It adheres to the principles outlined
in the [RFC]: Hardware pluggable, providing a hardware-pluggable
interface that decouples the integration of the Ascend NPU with vLLM.
This patch also include changes to make CI work and use cache speed up
e2e test, including:
1. Change push (post merge ci) and pull_request (pr ci) trigger branch
to main
2. Make mypy work by ignore base_communicator and clear unused deps
3. Several improvements for vllm_ascend_test:
- use cache (pip, ms, hf) speed up e2e test (25mins --> 5mins)
- switch `git clone` command to `action/checkout` to speedup checkout
and
- Enable sv for pytest for better info dump
- Remove network host to resole `docker: conflicting ontions: cannot
attach both user-defined and non-user-definednetwork-modes`, which is a
problem on docker 1.45 but not on 1.39.
4. Adapt MLA decode optimizations:

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, init the PR.
### How was this patch tested?
- This is the first PR to make ascend NPU work on vLLM. All code is
tested on ascend with vLLM V0 Engine.
- CI passed
