feat(backend): add buun-llama-cpp fork (DFlash + TCQ KV-cache)

spiritbuun/buun-llama-cpp is a fork of TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant that adds
two independent features on top: DFlash block-diffusion speculative decoding
(via a dedicated DFlashDraftModel GGUF arch) and two extra TCQ KV-cache
variants (turbo2_tcq, turbo3_tcq) on top of TurboQuant's turbo2/turbo3/turbo4.

Follows the turboquant thin-wrapper pattern — reuses backend/cpp/llama-cpp
grpc-server sources verbatim, patches only the build copy to extend the KV
allow-list and wire up buun-exclusive tree_budget / draft_topk options.
DraftModel is already wired end-to-end (proto field 39 → params.speculative),
so DFlash activation only needs the existing options passthrough
(spec_type:dflash) plus the drafter path in draft_model.

CacheTypeOptions now surfaces the five turbo* values so the React UI dropdown
shows them — benefits turboquant too (previously users had to type them in
YAML manually).

# Patch the shared backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp *copy* used by the
# buun-llama-cpp build to account for three gaps between upstream and the fork:
#
# 1. Augment the kv_cache_types[] allow-list so `LoadModel` accepts the
# fork-specific `turbo2` / `turbo3` / `turbo4` cache types plus the buun
# additions `turbo2_tcq` / `turbo3_tcq`.
#
# 2. Wire up buun-exclusive speculative-decoding option handlers
# (tree_budget / draft_topk) alongside the existing spec_* handlers.
# These reference struct fields (common_params.speculative.tree_budget
# and .draft_topk) that only exist in buun's common/common.h — adding
# them to the shared backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp would break
# the stock llama-cpp build, so we inject them only into the buun copy.
#
# 3. Replace `get_media_marker()` (added upstream in ggml-org/llama.cpp#21962,
# server-side random per-instance marker) with the legacy "<__media__>"
# literal. The fork branched before that PR, so server-common.cpp has no
# get_media_marker symbol. The fork's mtmd_default_marker() still returns
# "<__media__>", and Go-side tooling falls back to that sentinel when the
# backend does not expose media_marker, so substituting the literal keeps
# behavior identical on the buun path.
#
# We patch the *copy* sitting in buun-llama-cpp-<flavor>-build/, never the
# original under backend/cpp/llama-cpp/, so the stock llama-cpp build keeps
# compiling against vanilla upstream.
#
# Idempotent: skips each insertion if its marker is already present (so re-runs
# of the same build dir don't double-insert).

- [Tracked branch: `feature/turboquant-kv-cache`](https://github.com/TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant/tree/feature/turboquant-kv-cache)
### buun-llama-cpp (DFlash speculative decoding + TurboQuant/TCQ KV-cache)
[buun-llama-cpp](https://github.com/spiritbuun/buun-llama-cpp) is a fork-of-a-fork: spiritbuun forked `TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant` (the `turboquant` backend above) and added two independent features on top:
1. **DFlash** — a block-diffusion speculative decoding scheme that uses a dedicated drafter model (new `DFlashDraftModel` GGUF architecture). On a target/drafter pair it emits a block of tokens per speculation step and can be combined with tree-structured verification ("DDTree") for multi-branch draft expansion.
2. **TCQ (Trellis-Coded Quantization)** — two additional KV-cache types (`turbo2_tcq`, `turbo3_tcq`) on top of the TurboQuant `turbo2` / `turbo3` / `turbo4` already shipped by the parent fork, delivering 1044% KL reduction over scalar quantization at 23 bits per value.
Like `turboquant`, this backend shares LocalAI's stock `llama-cpp` gRPC server sources — so any GGUF model that runs on `llama-cpp` also runs on `buun-llama-cpp`. Pick it over `turboquant` specifically when you want DFlash speculative decoding or the newer TCQ KV-cache variants.
#### Features
- Drop-in GGUF compatibility with upstream `llama.cpp`.
- DFlash block-diffusion speculative decoding (CUDA/Metal; no CPU fallback).
- TurboQuant KV-cache types (`turbo2`, `turbo3`, `turbo4`) inherited from the parent `turboquant` fork, plus buun-exclusive `turbo2_tcq` and `turbo3_tcq` variants.
- Same feature surface as `llama-cpp`: text generation, embeddings, tool calls, multimodal via mmproj.
- Available on CPU (AVX/AVX2/AVX512/fallback), NVIDIA CUDA 12/13, AMD ROCm/HIP, Intel SYCL f32/f16, Vulkan, and NVIDIA L4T — but note that DFlash and `turbo*` KV types have no CPU fallback and error at model-load on CPU-only builds.
#### Setup
`buun-llama-cpp` ships as a separate container image in the LocalAI backend gallery. Install it like any other backend:
```bash
local-ai backends install buun-llama-cpp
```
Or pick a specific flavor for your hardware (example tags: `cpu-buun-llama-cpp`, `cuda12-buun-llama-cpp`, `cuda13-buun-llama-cpp`, `rocm-buun-llama-cpp`, `intel-sycl-f16-buun-llama-cpp`, `vulkan-buun-llama-cpp`).
#### YAML configuration — TCQ KV-cache
To run a model with TurboQuant/TCQ quantized KV-cache, set the backend and pick a `turbo*` cache type:
```yaml
name: my-model
backend: buun-llama-cpp
parameters:
model: file.gguf
# Accepted values for the two fork-aware backends include the stock llama.cpp
# types (f16, f32, q8_0, q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1), the TurboQuant types
# (turbo2, turbo3, turbo4), and the buun-only TCQ variants (turbo2_tcq,
# turbo3_tcq). turbo3 / turbo4 / turbo*_tcq auto-enable flash_attention.
cache_type_k: turbo3
cache_type_v: turbo3_tcq
context_size: 8192
```
#### YAML configuration — DFlash speculative decoding
DFlash requires a **dedicated drafter model** in the new `DFlashDraftModel` GGUF architecture. At time of writing the only known public target/drafter pair is [`z-lab/Qwen3.5-27B`](https://huggingface.co/z-lab/Qwen3.5-27B) + [`z-lab/Qwen3.5-27B-DFlash`](https://huggingface.co/z-lab/Qwen3.5-27B-DFlash).
```yaml
name: qwen3-dflash
backend: buun-llama-cpp
parameters:
# Target model (quantized as usual)
model: Qwen3.5-27B-Q4_K_M.gguf
# Drafter model produced by buun's convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the
# DFlashDraftModel checkpoint. Resolved relative to the models path.
draft_model: Qwen3.5-27B-DFlash.gguf
options:
# Switches the speculative pipeline from the default draft-model mode to
# DFlash (block-diffusion). Required to activate the DFlash code path.
- spec_type:dflash
# Optional tuning:
# - tree_budget:0 # 0 = flat DFlash; >0 = DDTree verification budget
# - draft_topk:1 # drafter top-K per position (1 = argmax)
# - spec_n_max:16 # cap on draft tokens per speculation step
```
Under the hood LocalAI wires `draft_model` through to the grpc-server's `params.speculative.mparams_dft.path`, and `spec_type:dflash` is forwarded through the options passthrough to buun's `common_speculative_type_from_name("dflash")`. The `tree_budget` and `draft_topk` options are buun-exclusive; they reference struct fields that only exist in buun's fork, so they're surfaced on this backend only (passing them to stock `llama-cpp` is a no-op).
