### What this PR does / why we need it?
For dense models, by not applying tensor parallelism (TP) to the
attention module and applying TP to the MLP module, the allreduce
operations in the attention module can be eliminated, thereby reducing
computational overhead. However, this approach increases memory usage,
so the environment variable VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_MLP_OPTIMZE is used to
control this optimization.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Based on the design of dual-batch overlap proposed by Deepseek team and
also the implementation of fused moe in VLLM project, we implement the
multi-stream(also known as dual-batch) overlap for deepseek+mla on
Ascend NPU. We split the input batch of model into two microbatches and
then overlap the comp/comm ops in attention and moe layers using two
streams to improve the performance. Our approach can be easily extended
when adding dispatch/combine communications for moe layer.
Compared with the previously proposed
[draft](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/842), we use
one stream for computation ops and the other for communication ops,
separately. In out opinions, it is beneficial for arranging the order of
executing different ops and thus avoiding the contention of
computation/communication resources.

llama](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/15787/files)

sglang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/4068/files#diff-b4937569fc71f6ad215181b633b2f89c7183a2b4ac39e41fc22635599a9be7de)
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Adding an env variable "VLLM_ENABLE_DBO". Users can enable dbo by
setting "VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_DBO=1"
See /examples/offline_dualbatch_overlap_npu.py for more info.
### How was this patch tested?
This patch can be tested with vllm-0.9.0 using its online service with
benchmark tests. We have decoupled the func of dbo from vllm and it
should be able to run without any modification to the code of vllm(some
modifications is better to implement in vllm though).
Any advice/discussion is welcome.
### Performance Benchmark
We have ran the benchmark_serving script of vllm to test the performance
after using dual-batch overlap.

2. test with the version using alltoall:

The overlap approach when using alltoall communication can be further
optimized by overlapping micro-batch1's moe comp with micro-batch2's

[CI]Moe alltoall communication optimization
The DeepSeek V3/R1 model has 256 routing experts. During parallel
inference, if the load of an EP rank is high, the overall communication
and computing time is slowed down, which becomes a weakness of parallel
inference because the load is unevenly distributed. However, the data
volume in the prefill phase is large, and the inter-card communication
time consumption/calculation time consumption and the data volume are
closely related to each other. Therefore, less non-linear precision loss
can be used to obtain a near-linear performance improvement.
During parallel inference, global synchronization occurs during
communication. As a result, the card with low load completes the
calculation first and waits for the card with the highest load to
complete the calculation. Therefore, if the load is unbalanced, the card
with high load slows down the overall time consumption. Significant
performance gains can be achieved by discarding a small number of
tokens, which is unacceptable in some precision-sensitive scenarios.
However, similar to quantification, it is a solution that uses an
acceptable precision loss in some scenarios for performance. In
addition, a trade-off between performance and precision can be achieved
by configuring a proportion of discarded tokens.
Perform the test on A3. The batch size is 8 (B), the prompt length is
3.5K tokens (S), and the parallel configuration is as follows: AttnDP=2,
AttnTP=8, MoeTP=1, and MoeEP=16. In this sence, we got a 10%-15%
performance gain.
Plus, the next version, we'll have an alltoallv moe.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
We need to **observe the time consumed in each stage of inference
(including pre-processing, model forward, etc.), without any performance
loss**.
Therefore, we use the event timestamp mechanism of the NPU to mark any
stage during the execution of the NPU device (this marking operation is
executed asynchronously, with no performance loss).
Additionally, we provide a blocking synchronization API
`pop_captured_sync` to be called at an appropriate time, to print the
time consumed in all observed stages.
**model_runner_v1.py file only changed 5 lines, all of which were
`ProfileExecuteDuration()` calls, and nothing else was changed， while
more changes were showed due to the alignment issue.**

### How was this patch tested?
This PR is tested with Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct.
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.
