### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR introduces the Ascend implementation of the
`dispatch_ffn_combine` kernel and wires it into the vLLM-Ascend runtime,
together with follow‑up fixes to ensure the kernel builds and runs
correctly in CI.
- Add full host and device implementation of the `dispatch_ffn_combine`
kernel under `csrc/dispatch_ffn_combine`, including tiling logic, MOE
routing helpers, and kernel utilities for quantized FFN dispatch.
- Integrate the new kernel with the PyTorch binding
(csrc/torch_binding.cpp, csrc/torch_binding_meta.cpp) and the Ascend
runtime (vllm_ascend/ascend_forward_context.py,
vllm_ascend/worker/model_runner_v1.py).
- Extend fused MoE communication and token dispatch support in
`vllm_ascend/ops/fused_moe`, adding methods/utilities needed by the new
dispatch path.
- Update quantization logic in vllm_ascend/quantization/w8a8_dynamic.py
to support the new FFN dispatch flow.
- Fix kernel build issues by adjusting `csrc/build_aclnn.sh`, CMake
configuration, and include/namespace usage in the new kernel files.
- Add an end‑to‑end nightly test
`tests/e2e/nightly/ops/test_dispatch_ffn_combine.py` and helper
utilities in `vllm_ascend/utils.py` to validate the new kernel.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR introduces support for adding custom CANN `aclnn` ops to
`vllm-ascend`, allowing users to define and use their own custom
operators.
Key changes include:
- Building and installing custom ops into the `vllm-ascend`-specified
directory
- Binding the `aclnn` op interface to the `torch.ops._C_ascend` module
- Enabling invocation of these ops within `vllm-ascend`
This PR includes a sample custom op:
`aclnnGroupedMatmulSwigluQuantWeightNzTensorList`, which is adapted from
the CANN operator
[`aclnnGroupedMatmulSwigluQuantWeightNZ`](https://www.hiascend.com/document/detail/zh/canncommercial/83RC1/API/aolapi/context/aclnnGroupedMatmulSwigluQuantWeightNZ.md).
Its input parameters `weight` and `weight_scale` now accept
`list[torch.Tensor]` (i.e., `at::TensorList`).
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.
- vLLM version: v0.11.2
