            Some commits from the old base branch may be removed from the timeline,
            and old review comments may become outdated.

  - Scheduler now sends target_leftover_cnt instead of specific request IDs
  - Worker selects requests to interrupt based on overhead:
    * First interrupts all unscheduled (waiting) requests
    * Then selects running requests with shortest total sequence length
  - Add assertions to validate request existence before interruption
  - Calculate interruption count as half of load imbalance to avoid over-correction
  - Add 3-second freeze period after interruption to allow load redistribution
  This minimizes wasted computation by prioritizing requests that haven't started
  and selecting running requests based on actual progress rather than arbitrary order.
    - Implement abort_to_target_requests_cnt for v1 engine - Support both v0/v1 engines in VllmStrategy - Prioritize interruption: waiting → (swapped+running by length) - Fix swapped_count missing in total request calculation - Return interrupted request IDs for proper tracking Enables efficient request migration by minimizing computational loss.

Dynamic Load Balancing via Request Interruption for vLLM Engines
Summary
This PR implements a sophisticated dynamic load balancing system for distributed vLLM engines by introducin request interruption. The system automatically redistributes workload across engines to optimize throughput and reduce latency.
Key Features
Request Interruption
target_leftover_cntallowing workers to select which requests to interrupt based on migration overheadDynamic Load Balancing
