A bunch of miscellaneous cleanup focusing on tests, but ended up
speeding up starter distro substantially.
- Pulled llama stack client init for tests into `pytest_sessionstart` so
it does not clobber output
- Profiling of that told me where we were doing lots of heavy imports
for starter, so lazied them
- starter now starts 20seconds+ faster on my Mac
- A few other smallish refactors for `compat_client`
**Description**
This PR removes some of the warnings when uv builds the docs
- Errors appear when generating docs about .md files not appearing in
toctree. ~~Adding content to the `providers-gen.py ` file that adds `---
orphan: true ---` to to each file.~~. Added a toctree generator to the
`providers-gen.py` file, this gets rid of the errors in the builds.
- Deletes the `_openai_compat` files, extension of PR #2849
- Adds the `files` APIs section to the `providers` toctree on the index
page
- Manually adds the `--- orphan: true ---` to the advanced apis. Ill try
to find a way to modify the providers code gen so it automatically adds
it, but this fixes the errors.
- Adds the `testing.md` to the `contributing` toctree
- Adds `starting_llama_stack_server.md` to `distributions` toctree
There are some other warnings im still looking at but this PR gets rid
of most of the toctree errors
Theres also an issue with the actual distribution-codegen that I can
investigate in another PR. Opened a bug for it here #2873
Inline _inference_ providers haven't proved to be very useful -- they
are rarely used. And for good reason -- it is almost never a good idea
to include a complex (distributed) inference engine bundled into a
distributed stateful front-end server serving many other things.
Responsibility should be split properly.

# What does this PR do?
Simple approach to get some provider pages in the docs.
Add or update description fields in the provider configuration class
using Pydantic’s Field, ensuring these descriptions are clear and
complete, as they will be used to auto-generate provider documentation
via ./scripts/distro_codegen.py instead of editing the docs manually.
