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.
