Anion 5f8b1699ae [Feat][quantization] Support new version w4a8 dynamic quantization for Linear layers (#3311)
### What this PR does / why we need it?
**Problem Description:**

The existing implementation for the w4a8-dynamic linear method only
supports the old quantization format from msmodelslim. When attempting
to load models quantized with the new version, vLLM encounters errors
due to mismatched tensor shapes and unprocessed quantization parameters.

Relavant issues: 
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3192
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3152

**Proposed Changes:**
1. Add support for w4a8 dynamic(new format) in
AscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod and TorchairAscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod
2. Add unit tests and e2e tests for w4a8 dynamic new and old format
models
<details>
<summary><b>details</b></summary>

1.  **Support for new w4a8-dynamic format:**
* Detects quantization format by reading the "version" field in
quant_description to ensure backward compatibility.
* Handles the new pre-packed weight format (`2x int4` in an `int8`),
which has a halved dimension. It tells the vLLM loader how to unpack it
using `_packed_dim` and `_packed_factor`.
* Supports the new `scale_bias` parameter, setting its shape based on
the layer type, as required by msmodelslim. For api consistency and
future use, the `layer_type` parameter was also added to other
quantization methods.
* Updates the weight processing logic: new format weights are handled
with `.view(torch.int32)` since they're pre-packed, while old ones are
processed with `npu_convert_weight_to_int4pack`.

2.  **New unit and E2E tests:**
* Added unit tests that verify the logic for both the old and new
formats.
* Split the distributed E2E test to confirm that both old and new format
models work correctly.

</details>
Theoretically, these changes will provide support for all common new
version w4a8(dynamic) models from msmodelslim.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no

### How was this patch tested?
I implement relevant unit tests and e2e tests and test the changes with
following commands:
```bash
# unit tests
python -m pytest tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py tests/ut/torchair/quantization/test_torchair_w4a8_dynamic.py -v

# e2e tests
pytest tests/e2e/singlecard/test_quantization.py -v -s

pytest tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_Qwen3_W4A8DYNAMIC_new_version -v -s
pytest tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_Qwen3_W4A8DYNAMIC_old_version -v -s
pytest tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_DeepSeek_W4A8DYNAMIC -v -s

```

I also tested Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct quantized with the new w4a8-dynamic
format:
```
vllm serve ./models/Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct-quantized --gpu-memory-utilization 0.96 --quantization ascend --max-model-len 9600 --seed 0 --max-num-batched-tokens 16384 
```

All tests mentioned passed locally.

**NOTE: I use quantization model from my own repo in
test_offline_inference_distributed.py**. Here is the description:
[Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1](https://modelscope.cn/models/Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1/summary)
(including quantization steps).This should be replaced by a model in
vllm-ascend ci modelscope repo.

Thanks for reading!
