mudler's LocalAI [bot] 1cd7d63c7b fix(distributed): reject wrong-model requests on the remaining modalities (#10990)
#10970 gave the four PredictOptions RPCs a model-identity check so a
backend reached through a stale distributed route rejects the request
instead of answering from whatever model it holds (#10952). Every other
modality shares that exposure: the route is cached by host:port, a worker
can recycle a stopped backend's port for another model's backend, and a
liveness-only probe cannot tell a stale row from a valid one.

Extends the same mechanism to the 21 remaining request messages that reach
a backend through the router, using the pattern #10970 established rather
than a parallel one:

- proto: ModelIdentity on each modality request message.
- controller: populated from ModelConfig.Model at the call site that also
  builds ModelOptions, so load-time and request-time values are equal by
  construction.
- backends: one generic guard in pkg/grpc/server.go (27 Go backends), the
  method set in backend/python/common (36 Python backends), llama-cpp
  (AudioTranscription/Stream, Rerank, Score) and privacy-filter
  (TokenClassify).
- reconcile already drops the stale row on IsModelMismatch; no change.

TTSRequest and SoundGenerationRequest get a SEPARATE ModelIdentity field
rather than reusing their existing `model`: FileStagingClient rewrites
`model` to a worker-local path, so comparing it would reject valid
requests in exactly the configuration this guards.

AudioEncode/AudioDecode are deliberately left unguarded: the opus codec
backend is loaded from a literal rather than a ModelConfig, so no value
carries the equality guarantee the comparison depends on. The four
bidirectional stream RPCs are out of scope; they bypass reconcile.

Empty means skip on both sides, so an old controller, an old backend, and
the bare request structs in tests/e2e-backends all keep working.
