### What this PR does / why we need it?
- Adds the `mla_preprocess` custom kernel to provide an optimized
pre-processing operator for Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) on Ascend
NPUs.
- Wires the new kernel into the C++ extension pipeline so vLLM can
invoke it directly, cutting Python-side tensor shuffling and memory
copies that previously bottlenecked MLA compilation paths.
### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
- No. The change only introduces a low-level kernel; public APIs and
inference behavior remain unchanged.
### How was this patch tested?
- Dedicated Ascend kernels are not covered by our CI yet, so no extra
automated tests were added. Future MLA-focused regression runs will
cover this path.
- vLLM version: v0.11.0

**Background:**
There are two principles about operator registration in PyTorch
- The same namespace can be only registered once by `TORCH_LIBRARY`
- The operator signatures can be only registered once by `def`
Considering that all custom operators defined in the current repo are
only used by Ascend, instead of defining a common operator schema by
vLLM, all accelerators then follow this operator schema and complete the
implementation based on their respective hardware, which is conducive to
functional abstraction.
Therefore, we can rename the operator registration namespace to an
Ascend-specific namespace(**_C_ascend**).

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add two custom operators (sgmv_shrink and sgmv_expand) to address the
performance issues of LoRA. Meanwhile, enable the graph mode for LoRA
operators to enter ACL, so as to improve the model inference
performance.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no user-facing change
### How was this patch tested?
Based on the actual test of the QWen2.5 7B model using vllm-ascend
version v0.9.2.rc1, in acl graph mode, the TTFT, TPOT and throughput
have increased by about 100%.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Thanks to the PR https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/426
make vllm-ascend support the aclgraph inference to reduce the host
overhead. However, the capability of aclgraph strongly relies on the
functionality provided by `torch.compile`, which is the key feature
supported in torch 2.x . Therefore, capture custom op into aclgraph is
only possible when it can be recognize and captured by `torch.compile`.
In this PR, we register the meta implementation of current custom ops to
enable the fx graph capture. And by doing that, insert those custom ops
into aclgraph become a natural thing to the ascend runtime.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No user face change.
### How was this patch tested?
Tested in unittest, we will integrate the `rotary_embedding` op into a
small custom model and use `torch.compile` and aclgraph to capture and
replay it to verify its functionality.
