feat: prefill chunking (#2600)

* wip

* rollback

* refactor to use prefix/postfix namming + fix all_input_ids_tensor

* maybe patching vlms?

* fix filter and concat

* wip, no filter, no concat

* current

* add prepare_for_prefill

* working

* load tested

* re-create slots

* re-create slots

* fix slot_filtering_indices

* feedback loop

* remove log

* fix benchmarker

* fix vlm and seq2seq

* rename to cache and input lengths

* fix prefill logprobs

* fix launcher

* fix logprobs?

* idk at this point

* max input length

* omfg

* remove debugging lines

* fix tests

* fix mllama

* fix cargo tests

* remove support chunking for paged

* Fixing non blocked attentions

* Fixing dtype + AMD, Ipex targets.

* lint fix.

* rename

* Fix prefix_caching variable, remove defaults in server (confusing a lot
of the times).

* Add simple resolution when user specifies ATTENTION=paged.

* Put back non default simple tests.

* Fix env name
