Conflict between llama_models.llama3.api.datatypes.SamplingParams and vllm.sampling_params.SamplingParams results in errors while processing VLLM engine requests
Added support for structured output in the API and added a reference implementation for meta-reference.
A few notes:
* Two formats are specified in the API: Json schema and EBNF based grammar
* Implementation only supports Json for now
We use lm-format-enhancer to provide the implementation right now but may change this especially because BNF grammars aren't supported by that library.
Fireworks has support for structured output and Together has limited supported for it too. Subsequent PRs will add these changes. We would like all our inference providers to provide structured output for llama models since it is an extremely important and highly sought-after need by the developers.
PR #201 had made several changes while trying to fix issues with getting the stream=False branches of inference and agents API working. As part of this, it made a change which was slightly gratuitous. Namely, making chat_completion() and brethren "def" instead of "async def".
The rationale was that this allowed the user (within llama-stack) of this to use it as:
```
async for chunk in api.chat_completion(params)
```
However, it causes unnecessary confusion for several folks. Given that clients (e.g., llama-stack-apps) anyway use the SDK methods (which are completely isolated) this choice was not ideal. Let's revert back so the call now looks like:
```
async for chunk in await api.chat_completion(params)
```
Bonus: Added a completion() implementation for the meta-reference provider. Technically should have been another PR :)
I only tested with "on-the-fly" bf16 -> fp8 conversion, not the "load
from fp8" codepath.
YAML I tested with:
```
providers:
- provider_id: quantized
provider_type: meta-reference-quantized
config:
model: Llama3.1-8B-Instruct
quantization:
type: fp8
```
