[Frontend] Add the p-less Sampling Method for LLM Decoding

[ryttry]

Purpose

This PR contributes the p-less sampling method for LLM decoding to the generate method of the LLM class via the SamplingParams class. We add the p-less sampling method to the SamplingParams class, consistent with the other traditional LLM sampling methods such as top-p, tok-k, min-p, etc that have already been specified in SamplingParams.

Reference:
Refer to the research paper p-less Sampling: A Robust Hyperparameter-Free Approach for LLM Decoding. This paper has been presented at the following top-tier conferences:

• ICLR 2026 Conference (Oral)
• NeurIPS 2025 Workshop (Oral)

TLDR; The p-less sampling method is hyperparameter-free, considers the full token distribution in determining the probability threshold for admitting tokens into the sampling set, is robust to high temperatures, calculates a probability threshold that is validly bounded without needing to set defaults to handle edge cases, and behaves befittingly with the entropy of the distribution i.e. admitting more tokens into the sampling set when the entropy is high and vice versa.

Note: This PR is created by the authors of p-less Sampling: A Robust Hyperparameter-Free Approach for LLM Decoding.
