### 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:
