### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. Rename num_iterations_eplb_update to expert_heat_collection_interval.
2. Rename num_wait_worker_iterations to algorithm_execution_interval.
3. Rename init_redundancy_expert to num_redundant_experts because the
variable with the same meaning in vLLM is named this way.
4. Delete gate_eplb because we don't need this feature.
5. Move eplb config into a dict in additional config.
6. Depend on pr5817
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
before this pr：
`--additional-config '{"dynamic_eplb":true,
"num_iterations_eplb_update": 4000, "num_wait_worker_iterations": 150,
"init_redundancy_expert": 16, "expert_map_path": "xxx.json"}'`
after this pr:
`--additional-config
'{"eplb_config":{"dynamic_eplb":true,"expert_heat_collection_interval":4000,
"algorithm_execution_interval":150,"num_redundant_experts": 16,
"expert_map_path": "xxx.json"}}'`

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Redundant experts bugfix
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
After configuring the path for experts_map, users do not need to
configure iinit_redundancy_expert.
### How was this patch tested?
The accuracy of EPLB was tested with and without the use of redundant
experts.

### Motivation
Currently dynamically experts balancing would stop-the-world.
Asynchronously expert load balancing would be better without flowing
problems:
Host-bound latency:
There are many cpu operations during EPLB such as
eplb-algorithm、creating p2p ops、and log2phy expert converting would
spend long cpu time, as ~1s.
Communication latency: The transfer time would cost much in the
situation without nvlink. As the weight of an expert maybe transfer to
multiple new positions, thus N times send/recv for one expert, with
result long latency. We had tested that batch_isend_irecv cost more
100ms for 16 experts weight transmission in A2 server of ascend.
SwiftBalancer would not stop-the-world anymore, in out test on NPU 1~2ms
cost for each layer while benefit 5ms-8ms decode latency with ep_size =
64.
The following updates have been made:
1、expert distribution recording with lower cost.
2、async cpu computing for eplb algo and other python operator.
3、new eplb algo with less expert rebalancing while almost the same
effect.
### Proposed Change
We will gradually migrate the EPLB logic to the VLLM community and
implement a generalized design. Relevant RFC:
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/22246
The overall workflow involves:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1d73a459-1b23-4b0a-812a-bf0a75debfed"
/>
1. Record experts distribution during forward. We using expert_token_num
after disptach instead of topk_ids, thus we got much smaller tensor
shape to reduce cost of hbm recording and add-operator.
2. Do all-gather for experts distribution. Using all-gather instead of
all-reduce as less traffic volume.
3. Wake up eplb worker process with experts distribution when
num_iterations comes. Run eplb algorithm in eplb worker.
4. Generate p2p send/recv ops and other operator such as log2phy would
cost long cpu time.
5. Lanch ibatch_send_recv in async_stream before forward.
6. After forward, wait for the ibatch_send_recv finish, then do uapte
expert map and expert weights.
