server: add router device memory margin parameter for dynamic unloading (#21231)

• server: add --models-memory-max parameter to allow dynamically unloading models when they exceed a memory size threshold

estimate with to-be-loaded model size included

use no_alloc to get memory requirements for model load

only set model memory_mb if not previously calculated

use memory margin instead of total size limit, apply to each device separately

add server memory debug logging

move llama_context_device_memory function to llama-ext.h

fix model count exceeded check

improve memory_per_device map naming

improve variable naming, fix style

also strip models memory margin from child processes

cont : clean-up

replace device memory map with buft memory map. Use llama_get_memory_breakdown

extract duplicated check into helper function

move model memory estimation to subprocess

precompute name->buft map, map GPU host types to CPU buft

cleanup unused variable

remove duplicated init calls

• server : fix memory accounting of measure children and claim spin

A measure child runs no_alloc, so the free memory it reports does not
include its estimate: subtracting self there erased the memory held by
other processes, down to zero with --fit on, and the next load could
overshoot the margin. Subtract self only for instance reports.

A queued load only checked --models-max before claiming, so when the
memory margin blocked it behind a busy model, load() threw and the
waiter retried in a tight loop. Refuse the claim while the limits are
exceeded and no idle model can be unloaded, so the waiter sleeps on
the condition variable until one goes idle.
