[CI] Pin transformers<4.53.0 and fix EPLB load_weights to make CI passed (#1482)

### What this PR does / why we need it?

- Fix vLLM EPLB break
vllm-project/vllm@e9fd658
by recovering load_weights back to [v0.9.1
version](vllm-project/vllm@07b8fae)
temporarily.

- Fix transformers>=4.53.0 image processor break
Related: #1470

- Mirror torch_npu requirements to pyproject.toml

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

### How was this patch tested?
CI passed
