### What this PR does / why we need it?
Currently when tp>1, we have extra processes on tp rank0 device which
consumes extra HBM memory. This is caused by `import
torch_npu._inductor` before set_device which introduces extra
initialization of device.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR creates and registers `ascend_multi_connector`, which allows the
`mooncake_layerwise_connector` to use the kv_pooling feature.
We unregister the original vllm's `MultiConnector` and replace it with
`AscendMultiConnector` when registering the connectors.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No. User can use `MultiConnector` to initialize `AscendMultiConnector`.

## What this PR does / why we need it?
Implements [RFC
#6954](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/6954):
NPUWorker Profiler profile_prefix full adaptation for API parity with
upstream vLLM.
### Changes
- **Lazy profiler init**: Defer profiler creation until first
`profile(is_start=True)` call
- **profile_prefix param**: Add `profile_prefix` to `profile()`; compute
`trace_name` from prefix + `get_worker_rank_suffix()`
- **Refactor `_init_profiler` → `_create_profiler(trace_name)`**: Pass
`worker_name` to `tensorboard_trace_handler` for unique trace files per
worker
- Unique trace files per worker; no collision in multi-worker setups
### Testing
- Unit tests updated/added in `tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py`
- `pytest tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py::TestNPUWorker` passed
## Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. Trace file naming may differ (more descriptive with worker rank
suffix). `profile(is_start=True, profile_prefix="warmup")` now
supported.
## How was this patch tested?
- Unit tests:`pytest tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py::TestNPUWorker`

### What this PR does / why we need it?
PR #5632 introduced a bug by replacing some branches gated by enable_sp
with enable_flash_comm_v1. As a result, when enable_shared_expert_dp is
enabled alone (i.e., VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_FLASHCOMM1=0 and
VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_FLASHCOMM=0), the behavior becomes inconsistent with
the previous logic and leads to accuracy issues. This PR restores the
original enable_sp-based branching to recover expected behavior and
accuracy.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. Following https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/32322, use the
`memory_profiling` context manager from vllm for profiling.
2. Fix wrong non-torch memory value recorded during profiling, which is
not its peak during inference.
---
**More details about point 2:**
After profling, the non-torch memory value we recorded is lower than
that in real inference. This is mainly because of the different memory
management behaviour between `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` and
`torch.npu.empty_cache()`.
With regard to `torch.cuda.empty_cache()`, it only recycle the unused
memory in pytorch memory pool (i.e., memory managed by pytorch caching
allocator), **with no affect to non-torch memory**. However, as for
`torch.npu.empty_cache()`, it has a totally different memory management
mechanism, i.e., it may call `aclrtSynchronize` and **enable Ascend
runtime to free up non-torch memory**.
Thus, the non-torch memory value we recorded after
`torch.npu.empty_cache()` is much lower than its peak during profling.
Resolution:
We record the peak non-torch memory value
(`non_torch_memory_before_empty_cache`) after profiling, but before
`torch.npu.empty_cache()`. Then, we add the diff
(`non_torch_memory_cleared_by_empty_cache =
non_torch_memory_before_empty_cache - self.non_torch_memory`) to
non-torch memory when calculating available KV cache memory, which will
lead to less KV cache memory (i.e., it's safer to avoid OOM issues).

> [!NOTE]
> This PR needs to wait for main2main aligning to latest vllm commit
before merging.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no.
### How was this patch tested?
Before this PR, the non-torch memory we used to calculate available KV
cache memory is **0.90 G**, whereas its peak during real inference is
**1.08 G**, diff: **182.00 M**.
After this PR, we add this diff to non-torch memory after profiling and
thus make the profiling results more accurate.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR optimizes the torch_npu profiler configuration to significantly
reduce overhead and trace file size. The key changes include:
**Enable Data Simplification**: Explicitly sets data_simplification=True
in _ExperimentalConfig. This filters out unnecessary intermediate data
during profiling, drastically reducing the memory footprint and I/O
overhead.
**Use Lightweight Stack Tracing**: Replaces with_stack with with_modules
when torch_profiler_with_stack is enabled. In torch_npu, with_stack
introduces heavy latency. with_modules provides equivalent semantic
information with much lower overhead.
**Code Simplification:** Removes redundant parameter configurations in
_ExperimentalConfig by utilizing default values, making the codebase
cleaner and easier to maintain.
**Test setup:**
max length = 50, profiler + stack enabled
**Before optimization:**
Profiler data size: 651 MB
Generate time: 3 seconds
**After optimization:**
Profiler data size: 156 MB (≈76% reduction)
Generate time: <1 second
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No API changes. Users profiling on Ascend will experience faster
profiling execution and smaller trace files when stack tracing is
enabled.
### How was this patch tested?
Manually verified on Ascend NPU by running vLLM with the profiler
enabled. Confirmed that trace files are generated correctly containing
necessary stack/module info, while showing the reported reduction in
size and time.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
The static kernel in torch_npu is uninstalled through Python's atexit
mechanism.
However, in vllm-ascend, when inference ends or the service stops, the
worker process is terminated. This way, ending the process does not
trigger the atexit mechanism, causing the static kernel not to be
unloaded.
When using the nougraph_ex backend and enabling the static kernel, we
registered a signal handler to explicitly unload the static kernel.
When there are many static kernels, unloading usually takes some time,
whereas vllm will directly kill the process after sending a terminate
event. Therefore, we choose to handle it by starting a new process.

Some exceptional cases:
1. MLAPO op need to do some additional processing on the weights,
including trans nz. If use MLAPO op, some weight will be transformed to

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.
