# What does this PR do?
this PR adds a basic inference adapter to NVIDIA NIMs
what it does -
- chat completion api
- tool calls
- streaming
- structured output
- logprobs
- support hosted NIM on integrate.api.nvidia.com
- support downloaded NIM containers
what it does not do -
- completion api
- embedding api
- vision models
- builtin tools
- have certainty that sampling strategies are correct
## Feature/Issue validation/testing/test plan
`pytest -s -v --providers inference=nvidia
llama_stack/providers/tests/inference/ --env NVIDIA_API_KEY=...`
all tests should pass. there are pydantic v1 warnings.

# What does this PR do?
This PR kills the notion of "pure passthrough" remote providers. You
cannot specify a single provider you must specify a whole distribution
(stack) as remote.
This PR also significantly fixes / upgrades testing infrastructure so
you can now test against a remotely hosted stack server by just doing
```bash
pytest -s -v -m remote test_agents.py \
--inference-model=Llama3.1-8B-Instruct --safety-shield=Llama-Guard-3-1B \
--env REMOTE_STACK_URL=http://localhost:5001
```
Also fixed `test_agents_persistence.py` (which was broken) and killed
some deprecated testing functions.
## Test Plan
All the tests.
This PR changes the way model id gets translated to the final model name
that gets passed through the provider.
Major changes include:
1) Providers are responsible for registering an object and as part of
the registration returning the object with the correct provider specific
name of the model provider_resource_id
2) To help with the common look ups different names a new ModelLookup
class is created.
Tested all inference providers including together, fireworks, vllm,
ollama, meta reference and bedrock
