What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR implements cpu offload connector to enable NPU kv cache offload to host DRAM.
This PR depend on vllm changes with starting a metadata-server process. Metadata-server manages cpu_kv_cache and offers rpc functions for the connector to call. It is designed to support shared-kv-cache between DP EngineCore.
Code of metadata-server is on working, we are trying to implement it in vllm-ascend to avoid long-term pull request merge in vllm.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
