### What this PR does / why we need it?
The functions KVTransferConfig.from_cli and AscendHcclConnector are
missing in the latest vLLM version. To resolve this, I propose modifying
the kv_connector to use LLMDataDistCMgrConnector, which depends on [PR
#2079](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/2079)
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

Overview
vLLM Ascend (vllm-ascend) is a community maintained hardware plugin for running vLLM seamlessly on the Ascend NPU.
It 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.
By using vLLM Ascend plugin, popular open-source models, including Transformer-like, Mixture-of-Expert, Embedding, Multi-modal LLMs can run seamlessly on the Ascend NPU.
