LI SHENGYONG da958ee386 [EPLB]Eplb Config Renaming (#5533)
### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. Rename num_iterations_eplb_update to expert_heat_collection_interval.
2. Rename num_wait_worker_iterations to algorithm_execution_interval.
3. Rename init_redundancy_expert to num_redundant_experts because the
variable with the same meaning in vLLM is named this way.
4. Delete gate_eplb because we don't need this feature.
5. Move eplb config into a dict in additional config.
6. Depend on pr5817

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

before this pr:
`--additional-config '{"dynamic_eplb":true,
"num_iterations_eplb_update": 4000, "num_wait_worker_iterations": 150,
"init_redundancy_expert": 16, "expert_map_path": "xxx.json"}'`

after this pr: 
`--additional-config
'{"eplb_config":{"dynamic_eplb":true,"expert_heat_collection_interval":4000,
"algorithm_execution_interval":150,"num_redundant_experts": 16,
"expert_map_path": "xxx.json"}}'`

### How was this patch tested?

# Additional Configuration
Additional configuration is a mechanism provided by vLLM to allow plugins to control inner behavior by themselves. VLLM Ascend uses this mechanism to make the project more flexible.
## How to use
With either online mode or offline mode, users can use additional configuration. Take Qwen3 as an example:
**Online mode**:
```bash
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-8B --additional-config='{"config_key":"config_value"}'
```
**Offline mode**:
```python
from vllm import LLM
LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B", additional_config={"config_key":"config_value"})
```
### Configuration options
The following table lists additional configuration options available in vLLM Ascend:
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|-------------------------------------|------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `xlite_graph_config` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for xlite graph mode |
| `weight_prefetch_config` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for weight prefetch |
| `finegrained_tp_config` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for module tensor parallelism |
| `ascend_compilation_config` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for ascend compilation |
| `eplb_config` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for ascend compilation |
| `refresh` | bool | `false` | Whether to refresh global Ascend configuration content. This is usually used by rlhf or ut/e2e test case. |
| `dump_config_path` | str | `None` | Configuration file path for msprobe dump(eager mode). |
| `enable_async_exponential` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable async exponential overlap. To enable async exponential, set this config to True. |
| `enable_shared_expert_dp` | bool | `False` | When the expert is shared in DP, it delivers better performance but consumes more memory. Currently only DeepSeek series models are supported. |
| `multistream_overlap_shared_expert` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable multistream shared expert. This option only takes effect on MoE models with shared experts. |
| `multistream_overlap_gate` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable multistream overlap gate. This option only takes effect on MoE models with shared experts. |
| `recompute_scheduler_enable` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable recompute scheduler. |
| `enable_cpu_binding` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable CPU binding. |
| `SLO_limits_for_dynamic_batch` | int | `-1` | SLO limits for dynamic batch. This is new scheduler to support dynamic feature |
| `enable_npugraph_ex` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable npugraph ex graph mode. |
| `pa_shape_list` | list | `[]` | The custom shape list of page attention ops. |
| `enable_kv_nz` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable kvcache NZ layout. This option only takes effects on models using MLA (e.g., DeepSeek). |
| `layer_sharding` | dict | `{}` | Configuration options for layer sharding linear |
The details of each configuration option are as follows:
**xlite_graph_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `enabled` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable xlite graph mode. Currently only Llama, Qwen dense series models, and Qwen3-vl are supported. |
| `full_mode` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable xlite for both the prefill and decode stages. By default, xlite is only enabled for the decode stage. |
**weight_prefetch_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|------------------|------|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| `enabled` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable weight prefetch. |
| `prefetch_ratio` | dict | `{"attn": {"qkv": 1.0, "o": 1.0}, "moe": {"gate_up": 0.8}}` | Prefetch ratio of each weight. |
**finegrained_tp_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `lmhead_tensor_parallel_size` | int | `0` | The custom tensor parallel size of lmhead. |

| `expert_map_path` | str | `None` | When using expert load balancing for an MoE model, an expert map path needs to be passed in.|
| `expert_heat_collection_interval`| int | `400` | Forward iterations when EPLB begins. |
| `algorithm_execution_interval` | int | `30` | The forward iterations when the EPLB worker will finish CPU tasks. |
| `expert_map_record_path` | str | `None` | Save the expert load calculation results to a new expert table in the specified directory.|
