# What does this PR do?
currently the "default" dir for external providers is
`/etc/llama-stack/providers.d`
This dir is not used anywhere nor created.
Switch to a more friendly `~/.llama/providers.d/`
This allows external providers to actually create this dir and/or
populate it upon installation, `pip` cannot create directories in `etc`.
If a user does not specify a dir, default to this one

The provider selling point *is* using the same provider for both.

# What does this PR do?
the ramalama team has decided to rename their external provider
`ramalama-stack` (more catchy!). Update docs accordingly

# What does this PR do?
Providers that live outside of the llama-stack codebase are now
supported.
A new property `external_providers_dir` has been added to the main
config and can be configured as follow:
```
external_providers_dir: /etc/llama-stack/providers.d/
```
Where the expected structure is:
```
providers.d/
inference/
custom_ollama.yaml
vllm.yaml
vector_io/
qdrant.yaml
```
Where `custom_ollama.yaml` is:
```
adapter:
adapter_type: custom_ollama
pip_packages: ["ollama", "aiohttp"]
config_class: llama_stack_ollama_provider.config.OllamaImplConfig
module: llama_stack_ollama_provider
api_dependencies: []
optional_api_dependencies: []
```
Obviously the package must be installed on the system, here is the
`llama_stack_ollama_provider` example:
```
$ uv pip show llama-stack-ollama-provider
