### What this PR does / why we need it?
cherry pick #1749 from v0.9.1-dev
since the interface in vllm-ascend has changed so quickly, the
quantization function in mindie_turbo is no longer needed, so it needs
to be discarded.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Adding `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization support for linear.
Dense models like Qwen3 can infer with `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
None
### How was this patch tested?
Adding ut case in `tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py`
Adding e2e case in
`tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_Qwen3_W4A8DYNAMIC`
to test qwen3 w4a8_dynamic quantized model
Note the w4a8_dynamic quantized model is quantized by `msit/msmodelslim`
of commit `d0abb0a47e1f1a473b866ad41b737fbc28fb1409`
1. Generate `W4A8_DYNAMIC` quantization weights using `msmodelslim`
```shell
git clone https://gitee.com/ascend/msit.git
cd msit/msmodelslim
git checkout d0abb0a47e1f1a473b866ad41b737fbc28fb1409
bash install.sh
```
2. Serve model using `vllm`
```shell
VLLM_USE_V1=1 python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model vllm-ascend/Qwen3-8B-W4A8 \
--port 8000 \
--quantization ascend \
--tensor_parallel_size 2 \
--enforce-eager

### What this PR does / why we need it?
A refactoring of forward_context and model_runner_v1, add some context
which is necessary in model inference into forward_context, and refactor
dummy_run logic, make it more reasonable.
Some details for this PR:
Add `ascend_forward_context`;
Update mc2_v2 op, and support `active_mask` param;
Update scripts in examples dir;
refactor `dummy_run` logic;
Add soc_version for A2 and A3;

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add a `VLLMAscendQuantizer` to support w8a8 static (W8A8) and dynamic on
linear and moe (W8A8_DYNAMIC), the quantizer will be enable if a model
has [quantize
filed](https://huggingface.co/vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8/blob/main/config.json#L27).
If MindIE Turbo is installed, the MindIE Turbo Quantizer will apply,
otherwise will use VLLMAscendQuantizer directly.
- This patch fix installation docs to make installation work
- This patch enable norm quantization by patch `RMSNorm.__init__`,
`RMSNorm.forward_oot`, `NPUModelRunnerBase.load_model`
- Add `AscendW8A8LinearMethod` for W8A8
- Add `AscendW8A8DynamicLinearMethod` and
`AscendW8A8DynamicFusedMoEMethod` for W8A8_DYNAMIC
- Add a e2e test for `vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8`
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, support w8a8 quantization. After this patch supported, users can
use below commands to run w8a8 models:
```
vllm serve /root/.cache/modelscope/hub/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-w8a8 --served-model-name "qwen2.5-7B"
```
### How was this patch tested?
0. CI passed: add e2e test for `vllm-ascend/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8`
1. From @Yikun:
I test Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-w8a8 for functional test all is well, pls
refer to
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/580#issuecomment-2816747613
2. From @dingdingchaomian :
Use qwen2.5-72b-instruct model and deepseek-v2-lite-chat tested, both
models were quantized using Ascend's msmodelslim tool:
- Qwen2.5-72b-instruct were tested twice, one for w8a8 static and one
for w8a8 dynamic.
- Deepseek-v2-lite-chat were tested once because its quantization used
both static and dynamic w8a8.
Models were tested using both off line inference and online serving, and
both work well. The inference codes are exactly the same with the
examples in
https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html, with
model path and tensor parallel number changed.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
It fixes following bugs:
1. When searching a specific linear quantization implementation from a
tool (such as MindIE-Turbo), the mapping of packed linear is required to
identify correponding quant type.
2. The exception is narrowed down to ImportError when importing
MindIETurboQuantizer to better throw other errors.
3. The api of AscendKVCacheMethod.apply is aligned with that in
AscendAttentionBackendImpl.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No
### How was this patch tested?
By performing offline inference:

### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. It adds more description for classes in quant_config.py
2. It renames AscendQKVQuantAttentionMethod to AscendKVCacheMethod to
align with vLLM naming style.
3. It modifies the process when AscendLinearMethod or
AscendKVCacheMethod calls create_weights.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. When creating weights, now AscendLinearMethod uses get_weight,
get_pertensor_param and get_perchannel_param api from linear quant
implementation, while AscendKVCacheMethod passes layer into linear quant
implementation.
