chore: rename templates to distributions (#3035)

As the title says. Distributions is in, Templates is out.

`llama stack build --template` --> `llama stack build --distro`. For
backward compatibility, the previous option is kept but results in a
warning.

Updated `server.py` to remove the "config_or_template" backward
compatibility since it has been a couple releases since that change.

- Begin by reviewing the [core concepts](../concepts/index.md) of Llama Stack and choose the API your provider belongs to (Inference, Safety, VectorIO, etc.)
- Determine the provider type ({repopath}`Remote::llama_stack/providers/remote` or {repopath}`Inline::llama_stack/providers/inline`). Remote providers make requests to external services, while inline providers execute implementation locally.
- Add your provider to the appropriate {repopath}`Registry::llama_stack/providers/registry/`. Specify pip dependencies necessary.
- Update any distribution {repopath}`Templates::llama_stack/templates/` `build.yaml` and `run.yaml` files if they should include your provider by default. Run {repopath}`./scripts/distro_codegen.py` if necessary. Note that `distro_codegen.py` will fail if the new provider causes any distribution template to attempt to import provider-specific dependencies. This usually means the distribution's `get_distribution_template()` code path should only import any necessary Config or model alias definitions from each provider and not the provider's actual implementation.

## Testing the Provider
Before running tests, you must have required dependencies installed. This depends on the providers or distributions you are testing. For example, if you are testing the `together` distribution, you should install dependencies via `llama stack build --template together`.
