* feat(config): enable cross-request prefix caching for serving (Phase 2) The llama.cpp backend ships n_cache_reuse=0 (cross-request KV prefix reuse via shifting disabled). Enable it by default (256) so repeated prefixes - system prompts, RAG context, agent scaffolds, multi-turn chat - aren't recomputed. This is the universally-useful part of 'paged attention' (shared-prefix reuse, which the upstream maintainers themselves identify as where paged attn actually helps) and needs none of the block-KV machinery. Lives in a serving_defaults.go sibling to hardware_defaults.go (device-driven vs serving-policy defaults); both run from SetDefaults and only fill unset values. Explicit cache_reuse/n_cache_reuse always wins. Device-independent, so it propagates to distributed nodes via the model options with no router change. Shares the backendOptionSet helper with the Phase-1 parallel default.

SetDefaults is now a clean orchestrator. Same order (runs after the family/hardware/serving tiers so those win) and same conditions (TopK gated on UsesLlamaSamplerDefaults, MMap on XPU). No behavior change; full config suite green. (NGPULayers stays in the GGUF-read path for now - it's device-driven but coupled to model-size detection; a separate follow-up.)
