LocalAI [bot] 23f225260c refactor(config): single source of truth for default values (#10418)
refactor(config): single source of truth for default values across config + backend

Defaults were decided in two areas with duplicated/drifted literals: the config
SetDefaults tiers vs core/backend/options.go's grpcModelOpts (which translates a
ModelConfig to the backend wire format and supplied its own fallbacks). They had
drifted - n_gpu_layers 9999999 (options.go) vs 99999999 (gguf.go), two 512 batch
constants, context 1024 (gguf) vs 4096 (backend) scattered as bare literals.

Introduce core/config/defaults.go as the canonical home (DefaultContextSize=4096,
GGUFFallbackContextSize=1024, DefaultNGPULayers=99999999, DefaultFlashAttention=
auto). gguf.go / hooks_llamacpp.go use them directly; core/backend references them
(backend imports config, never the reverse) so DefaultContextSize/DefaultBatchSize
and the flash-attn / n_gpu_layers fallbacks resolve to one place. The two context
values (1024 GGUF-no-estimate vs 4096 general) are kept distinct but now named +
documented, not blind literals. Behavior-preserving; config + backend suites green.
